DOMINICA’S WOMEN QUALIFY FOR CARIBBEAN VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS


The Dominica national Women’s Volleyball team placed second in the eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association Volleyball Championships which were held at the Beausejour Indoor facility in St. Lucia, from June 24th to 27th thereby qualifying for the Caribbean Volleyball Championships to be held in Suriname, in August.

The Dominican women went down to St. Kitts in the finals on Friday night, in what was described as an exciting and grueling five-setter, with the fifth set going to 19 -17.

Earlier, on Thursday night Dominica had defeated Antigua in the semi-final stage of the tournament in straight sets (25-17; 25-23; 25-21). On its way to the semi-finals, the team defeated Grenada in straight sets (25-16; 25-21; 25-14), and Anguilla 3 sets to 2 (25-22; 23-25; 25-22; 27-29 and 15-10).

Host, St. Lucia, which had earlier defeated Dominica in the preliminary round of the competition lost in its semi-final encounter with St. Kitts, and had to settle for third place in the tournament. Antigua placed fourth, ahead of Anguilla, St. Martin, Grenada and St. Vincent. Anna-Maria Xavier emerged top scorer while Elizabeth Joseph was best setter for the tournament.

The team returned to Dominica on Monday, 28 June, and will immediately resume training in preparation for its participation in the  Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (CAZOVA) Championships, to be held in August in Suriname.
