A day after a thrilling match against Thailand that ended in five sets in the favor of the Dominican Republic and which set a new record in a single VNL match with 231 points scored combined, the Caribbean side gathered strength to beat the last placed team in the tournament Bulgaria (0-9).
The Dominican Republic was led by the Martínez sisters, Brayelin and Jineiry, who scored 26 and 15 points, respectively. Miroslava Paskova noted 20 for Bulgaria.
