TIJUANA, Mexico, August 31, 2009 – Canadian
Tiffany Dodds was elected as the Most Valuable
Player of the last qualifier tournament in
NORCECA for the Final Round of next year’s FIVB
Women’s World Championship where her team
alongside with Costa Rica booked the remaining
two tickets.
”I have been with the national team for the past
five years and in comparison with other years I
feel that this is a more united team,” said
Dodds before departing.
Dodds took home the recognition as MVP and Best
Attacker while her compatriot Sherline Holness
was distinguished as Best Blocker.
Tiff, as she is called by her teammates, has a
big international experience participating in
the Spaniard Super League and in the Korean V
League.
“To play in Korea opened my eyes, because the
training system is very heavy and they go back
to the old school,” said Dodds.
Other individual awards given by NORCECA went to
Costa Ricans Verania Willis and Onicka Pinnock
as Best Scorer and Server respectively. Mexican
Nancy Ortega received the plaque as Best Setter,
and teammate Lizeth Lopez was awarded as Best
Receiver, Best Digger and Best Libero.
