USA Volleyball punched its ticket to the 2026 NORCECA Continental Championship final Monday, cruising through the schedule after overwhelming host Dominican Republic 3-0 in Santo Domingo behind 16 points from Simone Lee-Wank.
USA Volleyball Dominates NORCECA Continental Championship Host
Lee-Wank powered through on 13 kills and three blocks. Asjia O'Neal subsequently anchored the middle with a match-high six blocks and 12 total points.
Still, no one controlled the back row quite like libero Lexi Rodriguez. The two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year racked up 18 digs and five excellent receptions to keep the US humming. Logan Eggleston added 12 points of her own, including three aces, and Jordan Thompson chipped in 11.
The defensive numbers were just as lopsided. The US held the Dominican Republic to a .019 hitting efficiency and just three blocks across all three sets.
US Hunts Redemption in Continental Championship Final
Up next on the NORCECA Continental Championship schedule: a gold medal match against Canada on Tuesday at 7 PM ET.
The meeting is a rematch from pool play, where Canada edged the US 3-2, marking their fourth win over USA Volleyball this summer. Head coach Erik Sullivan's squad will look to flip that script with a title on the line.
