 Dominican
Republic sinks Jamaica
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, April 29, 2010 –
Dominican Republic downed Jamaica in straight
sets (25-4, 25-4, 25-2) finishing with a 2-1
mark in Pool C of NORCECA Girls’ Youth
Championship. The Jamaicans ended winless in
three outings during the preliminary round.
The strong serves and spikes of the powerful
Dominican side were keys for the victory. The
winners scored 19 points via aces.
Elizabeth Martinez topped the winners with 15
points and Rosario de Paula and Pamela Soriano
added 12 and 8 points respectively.
“Our serves were very good and the opponents
also had problems with their reception, so it
was a combination of things for us,” said
Dominican Captain Nairobi Agramonte.
Coach Giovanni Sibilia added: “We have a good
chance to advance to the semi final round. I
don’t want to underestimate the other teams but
we are very capable. Our overall game is working
well although we need to improve the blocking.”
