Jamaica are the 2015 Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Under-19 champions after they defeated Barbados 25-22, 25-23, 25-16 to win the four-team tournament at the G.C. Foster College on Sunday.

This is the first time Jamaica have won in international volleyball competition indoors at any level. The team will now represent CAZOVA in the NORCECA Under-19 tournament to be held in late 2015 or 2016.

Jamaica also exacted a measure of revenge on the defending champions that beat them three sets to one on the first day of the tournament last Thursday.

In Sunday's final, Jamaica overcame a six-point deficit in what was a keenly contested first set.

Barbados began the second set, racing to an 8-2 lead before a time-out was called. On the resumption, Jamaica went on an eight-one run to lead 10-9.

Ten to nine soon became 13 to nine as the Jamaicans tried to race to a two-set to love lead. Barbados weren't having it.

The defending champions came into the final on an unbeaten streak of four games and were not going to roll over and die. Spurred by their outside hitter number two Brandon Callender, who had 18 spikes, and libero Akeel Oxley, Barbados rallied to take the lead 22-18, when Jamaica's head coach Steve Davis called a time out.

Following the break, Jamaica clawed their way back to eke out a close win 25-23.
