Tay Tung still undefeated

By Adrian Stewart Co

Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts stays unbeaten in the 2019 Rebisco Volleyball League national finals after a 25-20, 25-16 sweep over University of Mindanao (UM)-Tagum on Tuesday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

Setter Katherine Shaine Cortez stood tall as she orchestrated the offense well all-game long en route to its third consecutive win in as many matches.

The Thunderbolts set the tone early with hits from Alyssa Bertolano and Shane Carmona. The UM tried its best to keep in step but falters down the stretch.

Bacolod Tay Tung jumped to a double-digit lead in the second period before UM tried to regain late in the match but an attack by Annicka Cabasac ended the match for the Thunderbolts.

“Katherine really stepped up in this game. Her setting and serving were efficient,” Thunderbolts team manager Jose Montalbo said. “It is also good as everyone did their share to take this win.”

After facing Sibu of Malaysia yesterday, the Thunderbolts will close the elimination round against Hawaii this afternoon./ASC, WDJ
