Dominican Republic vs. Japan | Pool A | Mon 8/2 6:40am ET

[trojansc]

8-3 Dominican Republic off to a hot start... T/O Japan

Japan can't get much offense going and they are high error

[jjss]

DR came to play. Hope they keep the pressure on.

[trojansc]

Japan and DR middles both scored with a *throw-ish* tip but I don't know what the standard is anymore. pati Rolf let both go.

[trojansc]

DR playing pretty clean so far - they need to sustain this!

15-6 DOM... 2nd T/O Japan

[trojansc]

19-8 DOM. Japan having trouble in service reception. Momii goes off.

[trojansc]

25-10 Dominican Republic with an absolute stomping of Japan. They're digging everything and not losing in serve/pass for now.

DR had 5 blocks
Attacks:
Rivera 4/5
De La Cruz 4/16
J Martinez 4/5

Only Koga had more than 1 kill for Japan, she was 3/11
Japan was 5/37 attacking as a team!

8 all in set 2.

[trojansc]

Rivera is down.... hopefully she is ok.... Brayelin martinez has had a nagging injury and what is probably keeping her off court today.

The only other backup pin is Yonkaira Pena-Isabel and a DS who hasn't hit competitively in who knows how long

Rivera is back up and we continue play!

10 all in set 2.

[trojansc]

Japan's offense is clicking this set. Back and forth.
11 all. DR has got to get Jineiry Martinez the ball as much as possible, she's been unstoppable

[Deleted]

15 all in set 2.

[trojansc]

Brayelin Martinez makes an appearance on court! Double sub!

[fireandwater]

DR doesn't look super athletic first glance, but they play hella good.

[trojansc]

Brayelin trips falls and DR gives up a point. I don't think she looks ok to go. Maybe needs to get in rhythm, but, I'm not sure this is a great move.

18-17 Japan in set 2.. T/O Dominican Republic

much better on a good in system set. 18 all

[trojansc]

Brayelin gets DR out of trouble.. double sub reversed as they rotated around.

20 all. this is getting tense!

How does Priscilla score there? That was funny. Japan was sleeping.
