Press Release
Calypso Spikers stroll past Barbados in Group I opener 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.
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 Polandbased 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.
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.

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.
