Press Release

Calypso Spikers stroll past Barbados in Group I opener

ST AUGUSTINE, Trinidad: Finland-based

Darlene Ramdin led four players in

double-digits as host T&T sounded an

early warning to all opponents in Group I

of their NORCECA Women’s Second

Round qualifiers to the 2014 FIVB World

Championship in Italy with a straights

sets win (25-12, 25-6, 26-24) over rivals

Barbados.

This was at the University of the West

Indies Sports and Physical Educational

Centre, St Augustine, on Saturday

morning.

Ramdin tallied 16 points, inclusive of 12

kills and three service aces while Poland-

based players, captain Krystle Esdelle

added 13 points (five blocks), Channon

Thompson, 11 points (ten kills) and

Sinead Jack, ten points, three of which

were blocks for the seventh NORCECA

ranked T&T, in the victory which came

in 57 minutes.

For Barbados, ranked 13th

in NORCECA,

Shari Matthews, the team captain and

Rhe-Ann Niles each got eight points while

Anicia Woods chipped in with five in the

loss.

Overall, it was a dominant display by T&T

which was shown via its 40-19 spikes

advantage and 15-3 on service aces,

while the Barbadians had a better

showing on blocks to trail, 4-6.

Commenting on her team’s performance,

Barbados captain, Shari Matthews was

quick to point out it was the first match

that the entire team played together for

quite some time.

“It was not our best performance but it

would serve as a learning experience for

the two other matches in the group,”

added Matthews.

Despite the win Esdelle was not all that

pleased with how her team played.

She said, “We played O.K, but this is not

the level of volleyball we can play. So we

are looking ahead to the next matches

and of course an improvement in our all-

round performance.”

Andrew Brathwaite, the Barbadian coach

said his teams always look forward to

Press Release

playing against T&T.

“I was very disappointed in how we

played in the first two sets, while our

third set was much better as we put up a

better fight.

“So that is something that we can build

on for the two remaining round-robin

matches and hopefully we can get the

wins to reach the gold medal match and

qualify for the next round.

T&T coach, Cuban-born Francisco Cruz

said he thinks his players did not show

their full capacity in the match maybe

because it was our first match of the

competition and the feeling of some

pressure.

“In the end the team began to progress

as the match went on , but I still want to

see improvement in our next two

matches.

In Saturday’s second match of the first

session, 18th

ranked Honduras come up

against 22nd

ranked Anguilla.

On Saturday afternoon, in the second

session, Anguilla and Barbados from 6pm

followed by host T&T against Honduras

at 8pm.

On Sunday, T&T meets Honduras in the

first match of the day from 9am and two

hours later, Barbados and Anguilla close

out the round-robin group play , at the

end of which the top two teams will

qualify for the gold medal match on

Sunday night from 8pm as well as the

Third Round of NORCECA qualification to

Italy.

The other two teams will play for third

spot on Sunday from 6pm with the

winner still in with a chance to qualify for

Italy.

However, it will only do so, as the best

ranked third placed team of all the six

Second Round groups on the NORCECA

ranking on January 1, 2014.

Press Release

Honduras punishes Anguilla in straight sets

ST AUGUSTINE, Trinidad, May 25, 2013:

Team captain Tessa Michelle Flores and

her sister Dariana Flores combined for 23

points to lead Honduras to an easy 3-0

(25-15, 25-12, 25-11) win in 62 minutes

over Anguilla in their NORCECA

Women’s Second Round Group I qualifier

to the 2014 FIVB World Championship t

the University of the West Indies Sports

and Physical Educational Centre, St

Augustine, on Saturday morning.

Tessa ended with a match-high 13 points,

all kills while Dariana had nine kills in her

tally of ten points for the 18th

NORCECA ranked Hondurans, to join host

T&T as winners of their opening match

and five points at the top of the table.

Anguilla, which only arrived in T&T late

on Friday night due to travelling delays

got a team high 12 points from captain,

Susan Webster.

Speaking after the loss Webster said her

team was still trying to recover from

reaching the tournament so late.

She explained, “Personally, some of the

younger players on the team are not use

to that kind of travelling. It was an little

bit tough on us, but at the same time I

don’t think the match was a that difficult.

We made it very difficult for ourselves.”

Torres, while happy her team started

with the win says she expects her team

to play better as the tournament goes

on.

“We started off a bit too lazy while we

are also still getting use to the playing

venue, so with that in consideration it

was good to get the victory,” added

Torres.

Justus Connor, while lamenting on the

fact his team had a tough travelling

schedule said it was basically a lack of

mental toughness that cost the team.

“I think our biggest obstacle out there on

the court today was our mental state for

the match. We have two more matches

to play and we will go back to the

drawing board, have some team

discussions and work on strategies, but

the players also have to get focus,” said

Connor.

Marvin Ulloa, coach of the Honduras

team echoed the views of his captain,

saying, “We started out too slow, but as

the match went out we began to get

better and with two more matches I’m
