The DR&#8217;s Reinas del Caribe senior team so far is undefeated. In its most recent game, lead by team captain\u2019s Brayelin Martinez 26 points, the Dominican Republic senior volleyball team defeated Colombia 3-1 (23-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-16) in the team\u2019s first match in the Pan American Cup on Tuesday, 5 August 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is taking place in Mexico from 3 to 10 August 2025 with the participation of 10 countries from the Americas. The teams are Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, Trinidad &amp; Tobago and Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DR has also defeated Venezuela (25-18, 25-10, 25-21) and Trinidad and Tobago (25-9, 25-15, 25-11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the more recent game, the Dominican Republic outscored Colombia in all aspects of the game, in attacks 62-58, in blocks 17-6, and in serves 4-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcos Kwiek, Dominican Republic coach: &#8220;It was a good game, Colombia played very well and gave us some difficulties. That&#8217;s a good way to start the tournament, so we can keep working, see where we were missing and try to improve, and know that a team of this level or higher is what we&#8217;re going to face.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guilherme Schmitz, Colombian coach: \u201cMy opinion is that both teams played very well, but we missed some opportunities that you can&#8217;t waste against teams like the Dominican Republic. That&#8217;s why the Dominican Republic gained more mental strength from the second half onwards and was able to secure the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DR senior women&#8217;s team is ranked 10th in the world by the FIVB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DR sees the Mexico tournament as a way to fine-tune the team for the FIVB Volleyball Women\u2019s World Championship 2025 set for 22 August to 7 September in Thailand with the participation of 32 teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/norceca.net\/Brayelin%20Mart%C3%ADnez%20scores%2026%20in%20Dominican%20victory%20over%20Colombia.htm\">Norceca <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/norceca.net\/2025%20Events%20&amp;%20Activities\/Events\/PanAmericanCups\/Women\/2025%20NORCECA%20XXII%20Panamerican%20Women%20Cup.htm\">Norceca <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/norceca.net\/2025%20Events%20&amp;%20Activities\/Events\/PanAmericanCups\/Women\/Calendar\/Calendar%202025%20NORCECA%20XXII%20Panamerican%20Women%20Cup%20-%20Colima.htm\">Norceca <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/en.volleyballworld.com\/volleyball\/competitions\/women-world-championship\/teams\/\">World Championship schedule <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7 August 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DR will play Canada on 8 August 2025 in the continuing of the first phase of the 22nd Women Senior Pan American Cup in Colima, Mexico.
