Despite going in as the heavy underdog, Canada gave the heavily favoured Dominican Republic all they could handle.

The Canadians dropped a hard-fought five-set decision (19-25, 25-15, 14-25, 28-16 and 10-15) to the Caribbean nation on Thursday at the 22nd Senior women’s Pan-American Volleyball Cup in Colima, Mexico.

Sydney Grills of Vancouver BC led Canada in defeat with 15 points and 11 attacks.

PG’s Macyn Unger saw limited action for the Canadians who finished 1-3 in the round-robin.

Canada will now play Costa Rica in the quarterfinals today (Friday) at 4pm.
