Following the match, Diego Gonz\u00e1lez highlighted Mexico’s growing confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I feel like we’ve finally adapted on the court. We felt much more comfortable with our serving and attacking. We’re expecting a tough match against Venezuela, and we hope to continue playing solid volleyball now that we’re more accustomed to the heat in Santo Domingo. The team is working well together, and we’re hoping to come away with the win tomorrow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis Cruz pointed to the areas the Dominican Republic must improve before facing Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today we struggled in serve reception, and it didn’t help us the way we needed. We also haven’t been able to stabilize our service, we made too many errors in that area, and that’s not something we usually do. Tomorrow, we need to stay composed and limit the mistakes we made today in serve reception and from the service line, with our focus on improving.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
