Alas Pilipinas showed its ferocity anew and crushed Iran, 25-16, 25-13, 25-15, to remain unscathed while also securing a semifinal berth in the 2024 AVC Challenge Cup for Women Saturday night, May 25, at the jam packed Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Alas Pilipinas women's volleyball team advances to the semifinals after posting its third straight win in the AVC Challenge Cup for Women.
“Proud ako sa team namin kasi hindi madaling kalaban yung Iran,” said PH team skipper Jia De Guzman, who came through with variety of smart plays for her spikers while wounding up with five points. “We never expected this straight-set win,” De Guzman, meanwhile, said. “Thankfully, we can rest early tonight kasi we still have one game tomorrow.”
They also limited hard-hitting skipper Aytak Salamat to only 10 points, with the rest of her teammates finishing in single-digit productions.
