BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, December 12, 2015 - Hosts Barbados came
from two sets down and 4-9 in the decider to win a heart
stopping match against the previously unbeaten United States
Virgin Islands to advance to the CAZOVA finals at the Wildey
Gymnasium in Bridgetown.
With the support of hundreds of flag waving screaming supporters
Barbados eased into the finals 21-25, 22-25, 25-10, 25-23,
15-12. Captain Ashley Jordan switched from setter to attacker
to lead the Bajans with 18 points. Great support came from
Shonte Seale 15 points and Deandra Dottin, 14.
Sisters Khrystin Rosa, 16 points and Khrysti Rosa, 13 points,
seemed to be piloting their team to the finals. However, a
number of serving errors particularly in the decider gave the
momentum back to the winners. Barbados took that momentum and
then the pulsating match.
Coach Patrick Oxley described the feeling of getting to the
finals as a fine tribute to the support from the crowd. "We
have to work on some minor lapses where we have been losing
points in bunches and we should be ready to battle for the
gold," said Oxley. |
