International Volleyball in San Juan

San Juan hosted another fantastic volleyball exhibition game last Friday, May 8th.  This time the Nicaraguan National Women’s team was victorious against the University of West Florida Women’s team.  The game was held at the Sports Park and was great Friday night entertainment to a good crowd of sports fans.
