Acaylar, who led the Perpetual Altas to 14 NCAA men’s volleyball championships, suffered a stroke on Monday, January 27, and passed away three days later.“Coach Sammy was more than just the head coach of the Perpetual Altas men’s volleyball team — he was the heart and soul of the program,” the school said in a statement.
Hailing from Cagayan de Oro, Acaylar steered the Altas to 53 straight victories from 2010 to 2014, which at the time was the longest winning streak in Philippine sports. “His loss leaves a void that words cannot fill, but his legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those he guided, cheered for, and believed in,” said Perpetual.
