Havana, June 2 (RHC) - The Cuban men's volleyball team debuted with a 3-0 win over Argentina in a friendly match played in Buenos Aires, ahead of the upcoming National League (VNL).

In the individual order, the outstanding players for Nicolás Vives' students were Jesús Herrera (18 points and 71 percent effectiveness in attack) and Miguel Angel López, the "flying" Cuban from the Brazilian Sada Cruzeiro (9 points).

Also contributing to the victory were captain Osniel Mergarejo (8), Javier Concepción (5), José Massó and passer Lyván Taboada, both with 4, according to the specialized portal Cubansp1ke.
