LINCOLN, Neb. (Jan. 9, 2016) – The United States seized its 2016 Olympic Games berth after defeating Dominican Republic 25‐19, 25‐19, 25‐18 Saturday evening to conclude the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament in front of 10,213 fans at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb. The U.S., which also clinched an Olympic Games spot on domestic soil back in 2000, finished the tournament 3‐0, while Dominican Republic ends the tournament at 2‐1. The Dominican Republic will channel its focus on Olympic qualification with a last opportunity in May at the World Olympic Qualifier in Japan. Puerto Rico claimed the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament bronze medal by defeating Canada 32‐30‐, 25‐17, 25‐20 on the final day of competition in Lincoln, Neb.

It is going to be tough having a team together ‐ January to May the players go play internationally. Until they announce when and where the qualifier will be, we’ll get together for a week before we play again.”
