OCHO RIOS, Jamaica, January 30, 2016. – Trinidad & Tobago and
Barbados will play the finals of the Second Round of the NORCECA
Continental Cup Women’s Inter Zonal Phase of CAZOVA/ECVA on
Sunday at Ocho Rios Bay, Jamaica.
It was a beautiful day under the sun to play beach volleyball
and the teams delivered intense semifinal matches. Trinidad &
Tobago upset the home girls’ intentions in reaching the finals
with an exciting 3-2 victory and Barbados battled strong to push
French St. Martin aside winning the series 3-1.
Trinidad & Tobago delivered good volleyball, leaving their
hearts on the sand, as they extended the semifinal against
Jamaica to a Golden Set tie-break. Dyana Dyette and Malika
Davidson of Trinidad-A won over both Jamaican duos. They first
took down Alicia Malcolm/Sashalee Wallen (JAM-B) by 2-0 (23-21,
22-20) and then with long rallies prevailed over Kai
Wright/Danielle Perry (JAM-A) in three sets 21-19, 18-21, 15-6.
Jamaica combined Perry and Wallen to stop T&T in the Golden set,
but Dyette and Davidson remained undefeated by 15-11.
In the other semifinal, Barbados team-A of Shari Matthews and
Anicia Wood recovered from losing the first set to beat French
St. Martin-B of Stephanie Pioche/Melody Benhamou 19-21, 21-17,
15-10 and later comfortably defeated Valerie Damaseau/Gil Audrey
by 21-10, 21-13. Sharon Bovell and Anthazia Mason of Barbados-B,
worked hard to prevail over Pioche/Benhamou (FSM-B) by 2-1
(21-19, 15-21, 15-11), finishing the series up by 3-1.
Jamaica and French St. Martin still have a shot to be on
Sunday’s podium, but they must prevail in their next series.
French St. Martin faces Suriname who defeated U.S. Virgin
Islands 3-0, while Jamaica waits for the winner between St.
Lucia and Cayman Islands that resumes on Sunday; the series is
currently tied 1-1.
The top eight teams will advance the Third Round of the NORCECA
