Dominicans think about three remaining matches

Russia Nataliya Goncharova contributed to the victory both with her offence and defence

Sergey Ovchinnikov, Coach of Russia: We lost the third set because of our mistakes. It was really good during the fourth set because we could unite ourselves and win the game. It was our lack of concentration during the third set and we didn't make several attacks, that's why we lost. Dominican Republic played a good game.

Maria Borisenko, Captain of Russia: We won 3-1, it's not the perfect result, but we were against a very good team. This team (Dominican Republic), year by year are getting better and better.

Marcos Kwiek, Coach of Dominican Republic: We played a good game against a very difficult team. They have good block and attack. We had good moments in the game, and we improved on the game against Italy. We have three very important games coming up.

Milagros Cabral, Captain of Dominican Republic: We are not happy, but we played a good game. This match was like a practice in preparation for the crucial remaining matches we have.
