I just realized the last match both teams played as their respective NTs was against each other at the continental championships. Can the DR win this in 5 again? 🤔

They won at the VNL in 2019 too

US swept DR at the World Cup (first two sets were close I think), but winning two of the last three matches is still pretty good haha |

I just realized the last match both teams played as their respective NTs was against each other at the continental championships. Can the DR win this in 5 again? 🤔 That was true for USA, but not for DR. DR played its Olympic Qualifier at home 2 months before COVID cancelled everything. They went 5 with Mexico (of course), beat Canada 3-1, and swept Puerto Rico in winner-take-all match to the Olympics. USA had already qualified at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in the Summer. Of course, if they lost the 5th set to Bulgaria, they would have played DR for the NORCECA bid. Or on the other hand, if DR had beaten Brazil in the 5th set, that NORCECA Championship would have been the last match for both, as both would have already qualified for the Olympics. DR is on a two match winning streak actually (I think) They won at the VNL in 2019 too
USA swept Dominicana at the World Cup, which was just a little bit before the NORCECA Championship. Also, at the NORCECA Championship, DR and USA were in the same preliminary pool because Puerto Rico got the #1 seed as the host country. USA easily dispatched of DR 3-0 in the preliminary match, before losing in the Championship match. Does seem like USA 3-0 or DR 3-2 are the most likely outcomes based on history! |

The interesting part is Castillo will finally be back on the court. I don't know the last time she's played against USA.. maybe the 2018 Pan-Am-Cup, where, of course, DR lost to a much younger USA team.

Every time the US and DR play, I always think of the 2018 Pan-Am Cup Final and the constant "PUNTO VIVA VIVA! ESTAMOS DE TU LADO!" from the announcers lol forever. |
