MANILA, Philippines: GEN ESLAPOR and Kly Orillaneda fell a tad short of the quarterfinals as the New Zealand pair of Katie Sadlier and Meile Rose Green marched on with a 21-18, 16-21, 15-12 victory on Saturday in the FIVB Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Futures at the Nuvali Sand Courts by Ayala Land in the City of Santa Rosa.
The lady spikers from the Philippine Air Force looked to have gained control of the high-noon showdown with a dominant second set only to fall behind early in the decider with the New Zealanders wrapping up the match in 55 minutes.The 5-foot-6 Orillaneda rued having to play catch-up in the third.'It was mostly because of our errors,' Orillaneda said. 'We gave them some crucial points and it's disappointing because we knew we could pull it off, we just didn't execute.
In men's play, the Philippines' AJ Pareja and Ran Abdilla found their rhythm in the second set after a slow start but Thailand's Banlue Nakprakhong and Wichaya Wisetkan proved too much, 12-21, 17-21.
