Tay Tung wallops
Iligan City in opener
Bacolod Tay Tung High School made quick work of Iligan City National High School, scoring a 25-14, 25-9 win over the weekend to open the 2019 Rebisco Volleyball League national finals at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City. Alyssa Bertolano, Shane Carmona, Joan Monares, and Erika Deloria led the effort as they finished off their opposition in less than an hour.
Tay Tung surged to a 13-4 start after three service aces from Bertolano. The lead grew to as high as 15 points following an attack by Myrtle Escanlar en route to taking the first set.
Strong kills by Monares and Deloria opened the second set and gave Tay Tung a quick 13-6 edge. Iligan City did not have a chance to come close as the Bacolod City-based side ended the match with a Carmona hit.
“It was a great start for us but [we] still need to fix some things,” said Tay Tung assistant coach Roberto Calamba, Jr. “It is still a long way to go so we cannot be complacent.”
After taking a break today, the Western Visayas representatives return tomorrow to face the University of Mindanao-Tagum, followed by matches against Sibu (Malaysia) and Hawaii on Thursday./ASC, WDJ
