Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts notched its second win in the 2019 Rebisco Volleyball League National Finals after a two 25-19 win over Leyte National High School at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Shane Carmona, Alyssa Bertolano, and Joan Marie Monares showed flashes of brilliance for the Thunderbolts as they topple the Leyteños in straight sets.
Unlike in their match against Iligan City National High School last Saturday, the Thunderbolts worked in pressure battling Leyte in the opening set before getting breaks in the end.
The Thunderbolts attacked the second frame opener but Leyte showed some fight as they were within striking distance before committing errors late in the set giving Bacolodnons the way to wrap up successfully.
“There are still things that we need to fix on. May mga errors na puwede naman sanang maiwasan,” Thunderbolts assistant coach Roberto Calamba Jr. said. “Good thing it happens now so that we can still correct it.”
