Jassania Joseph continued her good form at the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Associations Under-23 Championships in Dominica, to follow up her excellent performances in St Kitts.

The captain of the Antigua and Barbuda team scored a total of 73 points which included 38 attacking, three blocks and 32 points. Although the young Antiguans came seventh in the competition, Joseph still managed to excel and topped the scoring charts, with St Lucia winning the championship.

In a game that lasted one hour and 53 minutes, Antigua and Barbuda competed with Anguilla for the seventh place and another see-saw encounter with the two teams who battled fiercely from start to finish. Antigua won the first set (25-20) before Anguilla claimed the second set (23-25). With match scores tied at 1-1, Antigua bounced back to win (25-23) making every attempt to close the game out in the fourth round. However, Anguilla dug deep and were able to come out on top to win (23-25), so both teams went to the fifth tied on 2-2. The Antiguans did not give Anguilla a chance to stay on their heels in the fifth set and won it 15-9. Joseph scored a total of 32 points in the match with 16 attack points, one block and 16 serves.
