Canada Beats Costa Rica In Women's World
Volleyball Qualification
Canada defeated Costa Rica in straight sets
Friday in its opening match at the NORCECA
women's volleyball world championship
qualification tournament.
Set scores were 25-18, 25-19 and 25-22.
Tiffany Dodds led Canada with 17 points from
16 kills and one block. Tammy Mahon scored
12 points while Brittney Page added nine,
including three blocks.
"The heat slowed us today, especially our
starts," Canadian coach Arnd Ludwig said.
"However after the first technical timeout
of each set we really became strong and
Costa Rica did not have a chance to win."
Canada, ranked 23rd in the world, will also
face Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago at the
tournament.
The top two teams will earn the final berths
from North and Central America and the
Caribbean for next October's 2010 world
championships in Japan.
