The opening set of the match proved to be a tight, back-and-forth battle, with both teams trading points and matching each other’s intensity until Dominica edged out a narrow 25-23 win. From that point forward, the Dominican squad found its rhythm and seized full control of the contest. The team stepped up its defensive pressure and offensive precision to dominate the second set, closing it out with a lopsided 25-11 scoreline. They carried that momentum into the third set, securing a 25-16 win to complete a clean 3-0 sweep.
