Malaysia dumps PH in women’s volleyball
Malaysia's Cherise Ang Faith En provides the tough spark the team needed, finishing the battle with 9 huge hits

MARIKINA CITY, Philippines – Malaysia’s women’s volleyball team silenced the Filipino crowd as they wrecked the Philippine women’s volleyball team in an emphatic 25-18, 25-13, 25-22, straight sets victory during the 6th ASEAN Schools Games (ASG) at the jampacked Marikina Gymnasium, Monday, December 1.

Cherise Ang Faith En provided the spark Malaysia needed, finishing with 9 huge hits while teammate Angela Tang Ling Hui backed her up with 7 markers to lead the team to victory.

The Filipinas waxed hot in the final stretch as Regina Mangulabnan ignited a 5-0 rally, 19-16, but the Malaysians stopped them right at their tracks as En led a 9-3 blitz to ice the scoring, 25-22.

The Philippines went off to a strong start, dominating the early attacks as Isabel Molde teamed up with Maristela Layug and Mae Angeli Basarte to plant a 7-0 bomb but Malaysia rapidly defused it as En unloaded a back-breaking spike followed by a 5-0 run to seal the first set, 25-18.

Malaysia looked unstoppable in the second set as Tina Tiong Yong Ting came off the bench to score 3 of her 4 points while Low Mei Cing and Ching Hui Qin provided the stone wall defense to control the second set, 25-13.

Ferocious and composed when it mattered, the Philippines fought like one cohesive fighting machine in the third quarter as Basarte defied gravity to unleash consecutive spikes to reclaim the lead, 12-8. But their efforts still fell short against the superb attacks by Malaysia’s team of skyscrapers. – Rappler.com
