The Dominican Team in yellow, green and red scramble for the ball against the Vincentian team in Blue and white

Meantime, Mary-Ann Frederick had another huge night leading St Vincent and the grenadines to a crushing win over host country Dominica.

The Vincentian goal shoot, Frederick, followed up her 50-point performance in the first match against St Kitts with another monster night as she guided St Vincent to their second straight win in the tournament.

The Dominicans proved to be no match for the Vincentian ladies and this one was over pretty early as St Vincent put on a netball clinic to keep their perfect start to the tournament intact.

St Vincent raced out to the early 19-11 advantage at the end of the first quarter with Mary Anne Frederick starting off well shooting a perfect 17 from 17 attempts from the field. Lisa James did her best to keep Dominica in the match making 80 percent of her shots scoring 8 from her 10 attempts. St Vincent, however, turned up the defensive pressure in the second quarter, which led to a number of turnovers for the Dominican ladies. The defensive showing was so impressive that Dominica managed just 8 attempts on goal in the second period, and scored only 5 points in the process.
Mary-Ann Frederick meantime continued with her hot shooting display making 16 of her 17 shots, as St Vincent took a 37-16 lead into the half time break.

The defensive pressure continued in the 3rd period with Dominica putting up only 4 attempts and were held to just 3 points in the quarter. Frederick, in the meantime, made 19 of her 22 attempts, to put St Vincent in the driver’s seat with a 59-19 lead after 3 quarters.

St Vincent eventually won the game 74-23. Mary-Ann Frederick led all scorers with 58 points from 64 attempts shooting
an impressive 90.6 percent from the field. Shellisa Davis made 7 from 11, Joseann Antoine 6 from 9 and Zannelle James 3
from 9. Overall St Vincent shot an impressive 79.6 percent from the field. Lisa James was Dominica’s top scorer with 16 from 19 attempts, Kyla Winston 6 from 15 and Melissa Williams 1-2.

 

Barbados vs St Kitts and Nevis

In the 3rd match of the evening, Barbados made light work out of St Kitts and Nevis, as Barbados opened their campaign in the tournament on a winning note. St Kitts put on a much better performance in their 2nd outing of the tournament, but it was not enough as they suffered their 2nd straight defeat.

Team Barbados were quickly out of the gates with Goal Shoot Faye Agard setting the tone early converting on 10 of her 12 attempts and Brianna Holder providing good support shooting 6 from 7. Barbados took the early 16-9 lead and never looked threatened after that. St Kitts and Nevis goal attack Rochella Challenger made 6 out of her 7 shots while Aaliyah Gibson netted 3 from 6.

Barbados kept the pressure on in the second period and Faye Agard continued to keep the game out of reach for St Kitts, she missed only 2 shots in the second period scoring 11 points as Barbados won the second period 14-7 to take a 30-16 lead into the half time break.

The third quarter was more of the same, as Barbados built on their lead, taking the 3rd period 12-7. Holding a comfortable 42-23 lead after 3 quarters, Faye Agard called it a night, but her substitute Latonia Blackman formed a formidable partnership with Brianna Holder as Barbados took the 4th quarter 15-11. Blackman shot a perfect 8 from 8 from the field, Barbados won the match 57-34. Faye Agard finished the night with 29 points from 35 attempts for Barbados as she shot 82 percent from the field.

    Wait!! So management and coaching staff forgot to tell the DA team that it was not good enough just to look pretty on the court? They need to step up and play like athletes, they play too soft.
