Jamaica advance to 4th round of Women’s Beach Volleyball Olympic Qualifiers
Jamaica Women’s Beach Volleyball team clinched the vital sixth spot to book their passage to the fourth round of the Beach Olympic Qualifiers to be held in Acapulco, Mexico, next month.
The team of Sashalee Wallen, Kai Wright, Alicia Malcolm, and Danielle Perry got the job done in the third round of the Beach Olympic Qualifications in El Salvador on Saturday.
The girls showed their resillience with two hard-fought victories over St Lucia and Trinidad & Tobago. They defeated St Lucia 16-5 in a golden set, with the pair of Perry and Wright winning the all-important set after the teams were tied. They then overcame Trinidad & Tobago 3-2, after being forced into a third and deciding set.
The teams were scheduled to play Barbados late yesterday in an attempt to improve their ranking and possibly play for a third or fourth sport if they were to win. The girls will return to the island today.
