English.news.cn   2011-05-28 19:59:03. ZHOUSHAN, China, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Cuba beat the Netherlands in straight sets here on Saturday for its opening victory at the 2011 China international women' s volleyball tournament.

Allegne Yanelis Santos had 13 kills and five aces to lead the Cuban team to the 25-17, 25-19 and 26-24 victory in 66 minutes.

Going down tamely in the first two sets, the Dutch women put up some real resistance in the third, overcoming a 17-10 deficit to level it at 23-all. After a spike of Ramos Rosanna Giel gave Cuba the edge at 24-23, Lonneke Sloetjes smashed a ball home to tie it at 24-all, only to find Santos score two points in a row to seal the victory for Cuba.

Sloetjes led the Netherlands with 18 points.
