The Dominican Republic lost 3-2 in a previous clash with the Chinese team, earning the title of Queens of the Caribbean and “the surprise” team in the third round of the tournament. The DR is ranked 10th in the world, China 5th, and Brazil first.
The Dominican Republic women’s volleyball team has played in the World Championship on six occasions, including the last four tournaments dating back to 1998. Their best previous result was 11th place in 1998, but the team has struggled since then with subsequent rankings of 13th in 2002 and 17th in both the 2006 and 2010 tournaments. The DR nevertheless finished fifth at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The DR's next game final round robin is on Friday, 10 October 2014 it will play against Brazil at 11:30am (Dominican time). The top two teams of the round will play in the final match.
