| | Brazil tossers crush Dominican Republic - Jul. 17, 2004 |
 | | WITH his limited grasp of English, Brazil coach Jose Guimares found it hard to expound his team's defense. |
 | | "Our defense was good," was all Guimares could say, not at all close to describing how the Brazilians posed like an impenetrable wall in crushing the Dominican Republic, 25-16, 25-17, 25-19, at the start of the Philippine stop of the Samsung FIVB Women's World Volleyball Grand Prix. |
 | | The Brazilians attacked with power and precision and rarely lost a battle in the net, emphasizing their tags as favorites here by wrapping up the match in just a little over an hour--even with superstar spiker Leila Barros looking a step or two slower. |
