BAYAMON, Puerto Rico, September 22, 2009 –
Dominican Republic defeated Canada in
consecutive frames by score of 25-20, 25-22,
25-20 in the first match of Pool A of the
NORCECA Women’s Continental Championship at
Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum.
Prisilla Rivera and Milagros Cabral topped the
Dominican offense with 15 and 12 points
respectively and Lisvel Eve and Altagracia
Mambru added 9 and 8. Tammy Mahon and Tiffany
Dodds charted 15 and 11 points for Canada.
“We know Canada and prepared well for them,”
said Marcos Kwiek, the coach of Dominican
Republic. “I think the 3-0 result means that our
study of the videos and our game plan worked
properly.”
“Dominican Republic played very well and we
couldn’t stop their captain number 10 (Cabral),”
said Arnd Ludwig, the coach of Canada. “We
didn’t have precision in our reception and that
facilitated their blocking. We were in front 9-2
in the second set and allowed them to come
back.”
