After close losses against powerhouses Vietnam and China, the Philippine women's volleyball team nails its first win in the 2022 AVC Cup for Women to inch closer to a quarterfinal berth. AVCCup2022
MANILA, Philippines – After two close losses to start the 2022 Asian Volleyball Confederation Cup for Women, the Philippine women’s volleyball team finally broke through with a four-set win over Iran, 25-19, 25-22, 20-25, 25-14, at the PhilSports Arena on Wednesday, August 24.
After quiet outings in their last game against China, middle blockers Pangs Panaga and Ced Domingo bounced back in a big way with 9 points apiece laced with 3 and 2 blocks, respectively. The Iranians stayed within 5 until 10-15, but a Galanza-led 8-1 charge for a huge 12-point gap, 23-11, ultimately spelled doom for the visitors. As a cherry on top, Galanza also hammered home the match-winning point to give the Philippines a decent shot at a quarterfinal berth.
