TIJUANA, Baja California, August 29, 2009 –
Canada moved one step closer to winning a ticket
to the FIVB 2010 Women’s World Championship by
defeating Trinidad and Tobago in straight sets
by score of 25-14, 25-20, 25-21.
Tiffany Dodds and Tonya Mokelki led Canada with
15 and 10 points respectively and Jennifer Hinze
contributed 8 points, including four blocks.
Krystle Esdelle recorded 14 points for Trinidad
and Tobago and Kelly-Anne Billingy added nine.
The Canadians outscored their rivals in the
blocking category 12-8 and also in the ace
serves department 6-3.
“We have to maintain the focus in tomorrow’s
match against Mexico as we came here not only to
qualify to Japan but also to win the
tournament,” said Captain Tammy Mahon, whose
team fell short in its attempt to the Worlds
four years ago while losing to Mexico.
“The game developed as planned and tomorrow we
have to go and give 100 percent against Mexico,”
said Arnd Ludwig, the Coach of Canada.
