Nothing less was expected from the in-form two-time defending
champions and world No. 1 American women’s national volleyball team,
which it crossed its ways with Dominican Republic on Sunday in Santo
Domingo.
The Dominicans had the advantage of the playing at home but the
Americans thrashed their pride in front of their local fans. The
visiting US team demonstrated a stellar feat and held off Dominican
Republic for 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-15) victory. Team USA
tallied third straight victory in Pool B of the 2012 FIVB Grand Prix
and moved to the top on ranking chart. Currently, US team stands with
3-0 record and has a total of nine points.
Scoring machine Destinee Hooker played an instrumental role in US team’s success. She added 15 spikes, one block, and one serve ace, which helped her to take the top-scorer’s position with match-high 17 points. She was followed by equally talented Jordan Larson, who contributed 12 points.
