Bethania De la Cruz, the top scorer and best server of the 2011 FIVB World Cup, has been named the new captain of the Dominican Republic women's national team.
The Brazilian coach of the team, Marcos Kwiek, informed the news at the end of a practice session of the training team at the Santo Domingo volleyball complex.
De la Cruz, who turns 26 next May, replaces FIVB Hero Milagros Cabral, the veteran who retired after the 2012 Olympic Games and now works as sport director of the National District of Santo Domingo for the Recreation and Sport Ministry of the Dominican Republic.
'I am very pleased to announce that Bethania De la Cruz is the new captain of our team,' Kwiek said. 'She has all the qualities to assume the role as captain and continue to be our top offensive force.'
