MEXICALI, Baja California, May 31, 2008.- Dominican Republic blanked Trinidad & Tobago 25-12, 25-17, 25-17 to improve its win-loss record to 2-0 in Pool A of the Women’s Pan American Cup.

Milagros Cabral and Prisilla Rivera were the best scorers for Dominican Republic with 13 and 11 points respectively. Krystle Estelle led the Trinidadians with 9 points.

It was a lop-sided match with the Dominicans showing their skills and experience against a young athletic team of Trinidad & Tobago.

“I am satisfied with the level that my team kept today against a team like Trinidad & Tobago which is very promising but still has ways to go,” said Beato Miguel Cruz, the Dominican coach.

“I rather prefer to wait until we play against Mexico in order to have an opinion on my team,” said Francisco Cruz, the coach of Trinidad & Tobago. “They have a tendency to play better against strong teams, when they don’t have nothing to lose. So I am going to wait until tomorrow.”
