The United States finished an unbeaten week Sunday by sweeping host Mexico 25-20, 25-15, 25-22 in Zinacantepec to win its second straight NORCECA Women's Final Six title. The Americans won all seven of their matches in the tournament, dropping only four sets, and beat Mexico in a rematch of last year's gold-medal match.
No single player carried the final. Five U.S. players scored between eight and 11 points. Middle blocker Onye Ofoegbu shared match-high honors with 11 points on six kills and five blocks, one more block than the entire Mexico team. Outside hitter Jess Mruzik led the team with 10 kills, Eva Hudson added nine kills and nine digs, and opposite Temi Thomas-Ailara scored nine points. The U.S. hit .427 and held edges of 43-35 in kills and 8-4 in blocks.
