Vanka Women secured their first LNSV win with a 3-0 victory away to Peru on Saturday evening. The result leaves both sides with a single point differential after the opening round of fixtures in what promises to be a competitive tournament.
Peru started their campaign on the wrong foot, falling to defeat in front of their own supporters. They now sit ninth on the table with zero points from one game, while Vanka occupy second place with three points and a perfect record.
By then, Peru will be hoping to regroup. They have shown they can compete in previous competitions, with mixed results against regional opposition over the summer of 2025. But this opening setback means they need to respond quickly if they want to avoid dragging themselves through the season.
Vanka Women, meanwhile, came into this match with some momentum. Their recent run includes victories over Cacau no Peru Women, Molivolleyball, and Tupac Amaru - though they have also suffered losses to Universitario de Deportes and Chircollo. To be fair, consistency is what will separate the contenders from the rest.
The clean sheet matters as much as the three points for Vanka. They have not conceded in this tournament yet, and that kind of defensive solidity often carries weight when the fixture list becomes congested.
