Dominica dismantles Grenada to record first win

 

ST GEORGE , Grenada, June 22- Zahido Henry and Marcia Gustave both scored ten points each to fillip Dominica’s 3-0 (25-19, 25-12, 25-11 ) win at the expense of Grenada in match four of  Group N of the Second Round of the NORCECA Women’s 2014 World Championships, here at the Laborie Indoor Facility.

 

The Dominicans needed only fifty- five minutes to dismantle the Grenadians.

 

Such was the performance of the host, that no one crossed double figures in scoring, with Jomelar Billy – six points, leading from in front for her team.

 

The win for Dominica redeemed their fortunes, after losing to Panama in their opening fixture, while Grenada was condemned to their second defeat in as many matches.

 

Coach of Dominica- Albert Loblack opined that the match against Grenada was an easy one, but which would help them physically for their next encounter with Haiti.

 

“… We were able to run our offences and get our passes together, which was good for us. They did not push us too much so we were able to execute our plays … Against Haiti we must win if we are to get a chance to qualify”, Loblack expressed.

 

Grenada’s Coach Adam Lafeuillee though his team played better than their previous outing against Haiti, but there were too many lapses.

 

“We played a bit better, but there was that lack of concentration as we were unable to block off the Dominica middle as we should have and we did not get enough attacking from our side”, Lafeuillee said.

 

Dominica meets Haiti in the first match- Sunday morning, thereafter winless Grenada plays Panama in match six, as the preliminary phase of the group closes off.
