BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, December 9, 2015 - The United States
Virgin Islands women moved from a set down to hammer displaced
queens Martinique to advance unbeaten to the playoffs in the
10th CAZOVA Junior championships on Day Three of action at the
Wildey Gym, Bridgetown.
Khrystin Rosa led four USVI players into double figures as they
surged after losing the opening set at 22 to destroy Martinique
at single scores of 8, 7 and 7. Khrystin contributed 18 points
with Anisha George adding 16, Keynanna John winning 13 and the
younger Rosa, Khrysti scoring 11.
After taking the close first set, Martinique would have fancied
their chances of taking the match and gaining a slim hope of
moving into the medal round. But, with only Noemie Beltant with
11 points proving a challenge, Martinique wilted against the
might of their opponents.
USVI outscored Martinique 38-11 in spiking, 13-1 in blocking and
20-5 in serving to make a mockery of the lost first set. Curaçao
ended 2-1 in Group C while both Martinique and Guadeloupe ended
the preliminaries 1-2.
