It was a rocky first round for both the University of the Philippines Integrated School Boys and Girls Volleyball Teams (UPIS BVT & GVT) as they end the first round of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 80 with identical 0-7 slates.
The UPISBVT lost in straight sets to last season’s finalists, University of Santo Tomas (UST) and National University (NU) in two of their last three games. The team put up a decent performance but was unsuccessful in stopping the powerhouse teams.
In their last game against the Adamson University (AdU), they dropped the first set, 25-18, due to unforced errors. They engaged in a neck-and-neck battle in the second and third sets led by the offense of veteran skippers Ron Castro and Carlos Laderas but fell short as they end both with a 25-21 scorecard.
“Siguro mas kailangan pa naming matutunan maglaro ng buo kasi gaya nga ng sinasabi ni Coach Hans, mas madaling maglaro kung buo kayo sa loob,” Laderas shared when asked about their team’s points for improvement.
Meanwhile, the girls team struggled in their remaining games for the first round against AdU, Far Eastern University (FEU), and De La Salle Zobel (DLSZ) as they loss it in straights sets.
However, their game against DLSZ was a revelation as they exhibited newfound finesse in their games against last year’s third placers. Captain Trixie Badong, along with Yanna Reblando and veteran libero Angel Jota, led the team in this close game.
"It was a close game. The girls played so well that even the coach of La Salle said that ‘Pag kalaban na ang UP, hindi na pwedeng magrelax’ which made us very proud," UPISGVT Head Coach Paolo Mendoza said after the game. "They may have lost, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of as they fought their hearts out every second of the match," he added.
