Marshall Islands vs Nauru (Women)
Packed on every corner, inside and out at the PICS gymnasium, more spectators gathered for the 5th game of the day (July 24).
The game was a good start for RMI ladies. With stunning spikes and blocks, they took over the first set by scoring a 6-point difference; 25-19.
First set was a wake up call for Team Nauru. They came out a bit more fierce and won set two. Scores were 22 to 25. Tension grew during this set and as a result, one of the gym lights almost fell off! Some power these hands got.
At the beginning of set three, Nauru dominated. However, RMI was not about to go down without a fight. As the set was about to terminate, RMI managed to catch up and eventually beat Nauru with the scores being 25 to 23. Go for broke!
Fourth set started with both teams on fire. Scores tied two times during the game. Finally RMI pulled away and won. Scores were correspondent to the ones of the first set; 25-19, again.
Victory goes to Team RMI ; 3-1 .
