After early victories over Nicaragua and Venezuela, the team secured a 3-1 win against Canada, with Flormarie Heredia Colón scoring 30 points to maintain a 3-0 group record.

Following the preliminary round, the Dominican Republic advanced to the tournament final after a closely contested 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Polideportivo Domo de León.
