The Turkish women’s volleyball team secured their second win of the tournament, defeating the Dominican Republic 3-1 (21-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-15) at South Paris Arena 1. The match marked the return of star middle blocker Zehra Güneş, who had missed the opening game due to injury.
Güneş contributed nine points, including a pivotal block, as Türkiye overcame a slow start to take control of Pool C.
