The University of the Philippines Boys Volleyball Team (UPIS BVT) progressed through the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 80 while they improved over the last matches at the Filoil Flying V Arena, San Juan City.

After a blistering chase against the University of Santo Tomas Boys Volleyball Team (UST BVT) at the beginning of the first period, the UPIS BVT was able to reel the scoreboard, 11-10, until the UST BVT finally decided to dash a 21-12.

UPIS BVT’s Ron Castro hammered multiple spikes to advance the team while Derick Urgena, Samuel Silvestre, and Dex Daguman shielded the net in the second period but they were still impeded from catching up with UST BVT with a score of 25-17.

Castro continued to pierce through UST BVT as the team amped up their defense in the last stretch but still received losing marks, 14-24.

In their following game held last November 8, a 17-17 draw triggered an explosive sprint for the Far Eastern University Boys’ Volleyball Team that resulted to another defeat for the UPIS BVT, 25-18, as errors continued to accumulate in the third set of the frame.

“For two months na nakapag-prepare sila, from that first day na nakita ko sila, sobrang layo na ng progress nila compared noong previous UPIS matches,” said UPIS BVT coach Hans Chuacuco.

“Mas mataas ang psychological approach ko sa players. Kasi for me, kapag balanse ang utak ng bata, mas madali kong napapa-improve at mapapadali ko sa kanila mapa-sink-in ang mga dapat nilang gawin,” he added.

The UPISBVT endured another loss last November 12, against the powerhouse, National University Squad. Even though the Bullpups swept them in 3 straight sets, the Junior Maroons still gave them a hard time.

The UPISBVT still have a chance to break their two-season drought in their last game against Ateneo de Manila University on November 15, at the Filoil Flying V Centre.

The team is also preparing for the Toby’s Junior Volleyball League this coming December.//by Julius Guevarra
