She currently plays for Hisamitsu Springs, a Japanese club, which is why playing on Asian soil is nothing new for her.
Dominican Republic key player
Annerys Vargas is the great reference of the Dominican women. At 39 years old, she has plenty of experience to pull the strings of the women's volleyball team of her country. When talking about the position of center back in Dominican Republic volleyball, she is always the one to have as a reference.

They finished Group B by defeating Italy in a very complicated match, fortunately for the Americans, the final score favored them with a 3-2 win. The United States has the most effective team in the competition when it comes to receptions, in total there have been 258 correct receptions registered, achieving a 71.67% of effectiveness when it comes to avoiding rival touchdowns.
Dominican Republic: For the gold
The Central Americans arrive with their heads held high after defeating hosts Japan in a very entertaining game that ended 3-1 in favor of the Dominican Republic. With 243 points, the Dominicans are positioned as the fourth team in the competition that generates the most attacks.
