“We expected them to put the pressure on, they are a phenomenal team and a great serving team,” said Humana-Paredes. ” … We just had to buckle down … just focusing on the first contact and then the rest will come. I think it did.

“That was not an easy third set to play, it was back and forth for every point. We had to come up clutch with some defensive plays and it was fun to see Brandie do her thing out there (scoring 38 points during this match), but it was not easy. It was a little cat-and-mouse game but it was fun to play and to come out with the win.”

In men’s action Sam Schachter of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Jonathan Pickett of Wiarton, Ont., finished a strong tournament by defeating Hendrik Mol and Mathias Berntsen of Norway in the bronze medal match, 2-1 (16-21, 28-26, 15-12).

This was a first majors or Elite tournament win for Schachter teaming with Josh Binstock for silver at the FIVB Porec Major in Croatia in June 2015.

Schachter and Pickett played in the third-place game after a narrow 2-1 (21-19, 16-21, 16-14) loss to Andre Loyola Stein and Renato Lima de Carvalho of Brazil.

On Saturday, the Canadians upset top-ranked Jacob Holting Nilsson and Elmer Andersson in the quarterfinals.

“Today it was the shifting of the strategies throughout the match,” Picket said of the third-place win. “As you can see in the first set nothing was really working. There was a big score difference and then in the second and third set we changed strategies.

“A couple of reminders to ourselves on blocking and serving … little tweaks and no hesitation, we fully executed.”

Coradello and Lopes were set to take on Americans Kristen Cruz and Taryn Brasher while Lima de Carvalho and Loyola Stein were scheduled to face Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum.
