Alas Pilipinas U18 will take on Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals of girls volleyball in the Asian Youth Games.
Charge forward.
Rising star Sam Cantada said the Alas Pilipinas U18 team are determined to work on consistency and elevate their performance, even as they notched their second consecutive win to secure a prime position in the quarterfinals of the Asian Youth Games in Bahrain.
Alas Pilipinas continued their fine run at Isa Sports City, overpowering Hong Kong, 25-15, 28-26, 25-21, and gaining momentum into the final round.
The Philippines stood second in Pool F with a 2-1 record, just behind unbeaten Thailand (3-0).
Standing in their way in the quarterfinals is Chinese Taipei.
Cantada admitted they have a lot to work on, including minimizing errors and strengthening team chemistry as they try to sustain the drive to the podium.
“Pagtatrabahuhan namin kung anong pwedeng gawin na solusyon sa lahat ng mga lapses namin, gagawin namin,” Cantada said.
“Magvi-viewing kami, magte-training kami nang maayos, pagtatrabahuhan namin para makuha namin yung game namin. One game at a time lang po kami,” she added.
Cantada had 14 points on 12 attacks, a block and an ace, while Rhose Almendralejo had nine points, all on attacks, in the victory over Hong Kong.
