Norceca-H tournament record to 2-0 and setting
up a Sunday’s decisive match against Canada for
the only ticket available to the Final Round of
the 2010 FIVB Men’s World Championship.

in contention for a berth in Italy next year by
qualifying to a Play-off Round in Guadalajara,
Mexico at the end of the month against the

tournaments and the best third place of those
events.

actions by establishing a 15-3 gap in the
blocking category led by Captain Roberlandy
Simon who compiled six of his 12 points
defending at the net.
Michael Sanchez and Rolando Cepeda each
contributed 7 points to the winning effort while
