MANILA, Philippines – In control from the first possession until the end of the game, Japan easily took care of Philippines in three sets, 25-12, 25-17, 25-15, in the second round of the Rebisco Asian Under-23 Women’s Volleyball Championship on Monday, May 4, at the PhilSports Arena.
Japan was in control of the first two sets before running into some troubles early in the third set.
Following a service ace by Jaja Santiago that put the hometown squad up 3, 8-5, Japan rallied 4 straight conversions to regain momentum of the contest.
The Philippine team was unable to regain the upper hand and eventually suffered their second defeat of the tournament.
No Japanese player scored in double figures but only one non-libero player didn’t put points on the board. Misaki Yamauchi led the club with 9 points, while Kaori Mabashi pitched in 8.
Alyssa Valdez put up 15 points to lead the Philippines. Santiago came up with 7 to provide aid, while Gretchel Santones put up 6.
Like in their loss to Iran, errors did the Philippines in against Japan as they gave away 27 points due to miscues. The Japanese, on the other hand, gave up just 10 error points.
The Philippines will be back in action on Tuesday, May 5, when they go up against Chinese-Taipei. – Rappler.com
