Argentina swept Chinese Taipei in straight sets, partially 25-22, 25-22, and 25-21, at the Coliseo Manuel Bonilla to victoriously open the competition in Pool B. The first two sets were pretty much balanced all the way while in the third, Argentina made a seven-point gap (20-13) and closed it easily. Argentina’s Lucía Fresco scored game-high 16 points, while Candelaria Herrera made as much as 8 kill blocks. Chen Tzu-Ya notched 15 points for Chinese Taipei.
