The University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) Boys Volleyball Team (BVT) and Girls Volleyball Team (GVT) fought toe-to-toe with powerful rivals during the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 81 held at Far East University (FEU) Diliman Gym last November 10 and 11.
Powerhouse University of the East (UE) BVT towed UPIS BVT within three consecutive sets, forcing UPIS BVT to withdraw with heads facing down as 9-25,22-25,17-25 flashed on the scoreboard last Sunday, November 11.
The UPIS BVT still gave UE BVT a hard time claiming the throne as UPIS BVT solidified their defense in the first set. However, they were slowly torn apart as UE revved up their offense as errors continued to accumulate for the UPIS BVT.
Eyeing for a comeback, the UPIS BVT recovered from a 14-14 draw from a 6-12 mark before breaking loose, 18-15, but was then hunted by their competitor to end the second set with a 22-25, in favor of UE BVT.
Derick Urgena, Ron Castro, and Samuel Silvestre’s spectacular debut showered spontaneous attacks and spikes in the third set leaving UE BVT stunned for a short period of time but was able to swiftly overrun UPIS BVT with their coordinated offenses and defenses, 17-25.
“’Yung feeling na kaya naming tapatan nang gitgitan yung powerhouse na UE ay ‘yun talagang nagpapagaan sa loob ko kasi kahit na maraming nagsasabi na pangit ‘yung record namin, nagawa pa rin namin silang lusutan at i-block ‘yung mabibigat nilang serve, kaya nakakatuwa kasi ngayon na lang ulit ako nakaramdam ng talo pero alam mong nahirapan ‘yung kalaban para manalo,” said Silvestre of UPIS BVT.
On the other hand, the University of Santo Tomas (UST) GVT pushed through the defenses of the UPIS GVT, scoring their win in three straight sets, ending it with a pounding 23-25,11-25,10-25 last Sunday, November 11.
Renee Lou Penafiel and Imee Hernandez of UST GVT took the lead by contributing 9 points each.
The UPIS GVT fought valiantly against UST GVT, with their show of a very promising first set. With powerful plays lead by Giesha Capistrano and Trixie Badong, UPIS GVT narrowed the gap to a close score of 23-25, in favor of UST GVT.
UST GVT showed no signs of slowing down as they adapted and changed their defensive strategies, towering over the UPIS GVT in the next two sets, ending it at 11-25,10-25
“Kitang-kita naman sa mga teammates ko na gusto talaga nilang manalo. Ginagawa nila lahat ng kanilang makakaya at dapat nilang gawin, pati mga tinuro ng coach namin ina-adapt nila sa loob ng court kaya naman nakakahabol sila sa puntos ng kalaban pero ‘yun nga, kulang lang talaga sila sa lakas ng loob at tiwala sa sarili,” said Kriztin Jugo of UPIS GVT.
Yet another grim match was experienced by the UPIS BVT last November 10, Saturday, as De La Salle Zobel (DLSZ) BVT set the stage on fire and left the stadium with a deafening 15-25, 19-25, 23-25 mark.
Urgena cruised a total of 11 spikes while Silveste contributed eight. Ron Castro was able to deny two attacks with the aid of Urgena while Daguman and Miguel Castro clinched in two successful service aces.
On the other side of the net, Simon Encarnacion garnered 16 points while Enrique Miguel Aranton blasted 7 to progress DLSZ BVT forward in the UAAP competition.
