By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Under-21 Women NORCECA Pan American Volleyball Cup has been delayed one day due to numerous flight cancellations caused by ashes from the volcanic activity at the Popocatépetl volcano nearby the international airport in Mexico City.

With teams arriving late in Nogales, Sonora, NORCECA was forced to delay the tournament start until Wednesday. The regional governing body rescheduled the preliminary round and quarterfinal round. Belize was to pay Mexico on Tuesday, Cuba on Wednesday and Puerto Rico on Thursday. Now, Belize’s first opponent will be Cuba on Wednesday, Puerto Rico on Thursday, and Mexico on Friday.
