GUADALAJARA, Jalisco, September 20, 2025. – The United States booked its ticket to the gold medal match of the 2025 NORCECA Women’s Final Six after defeating the Dominican Republic 3-1 (25-20, 16-25, 25-18, 25-22) in the semifinals at Unidad Deportiva López Mateos in Guadalajara.

This marks the fourth consecutive appearance for Team USA in the gold medal match, having earned silver in 2022, gold in 2023, and silver again in 2024. In the inaugural edition in 2021, the Americans claimed the bronze medal.

For the Dominican Republic, this is their first time competing for bronze since the event’s inception. The three-time champions had always contested the gold medal match until now.

The two teams had already met in the preliminary round, where USA also prevailed in four sets.

Statistically, the Americans held a narrow edge in blocks (11-10) and service points (4-3). The Dominican Republic outscored the USA in attacks (54-48) but committed more unforced errors (28-18), which proved costly.

Reagan Cooper led the U.S. offense with 14 points, all on kills. Samantha Francis followed with 13 points, including six kills, six blocks, and one ace. Khori Louis and Skylar Fields chipped in with 10 points apiece.

Four Dominican players reached double digits: Massiel Matos led all scorers with 17 points, followed by Madeline Guillén with 15, Alondra Tapia with 13, and Geraldine González with 11.

USA team captain Kamerynn Miner praised her team’s performance, saying: “We really just had to get into our rhythm offensively, and defensively we made some really good adjustments, especially blocking our pins, which made it easier for us to get great touches. It was an all-around team effort tonight and I am very proud of our team. I am super excited to have the opportunity to compete for a medal — we’ve been training for this and I’m happy to implement it. Hopefully, we can get into our rhythm a little bit faster.”
