GUYANA’s national women’s team of  Trenace Lowe, Natalie Cummings and Cheslea Edghill defeated Ecuador by a 3-0 margin to advance to the  quarter-final round at the 2018 South American games taking place in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Playing in high altitude conditions, the women,  seeded sixth in South America, overcame an earlier loss  to  the top  seeds in the group (Chile) to defeat Ecuador in a must-win match to advance to the quarterfinals. They now await the draw to see who they will play in the quarter-final round with a chance to advance to the semi-finals .

The South America Region is strong in terms of the quality of teams as many of the players compete on the professional circuit

The women’s team is also using these games to improve  ranking points and as preparation for the Central America and Caribbean (CAC) games scheduled for Barranquilla, Colombia from July 19 to August 3 as well as the senior Caribbean Championships.
