Compostela nails 3 wins in a row in GUV Cup volleyball

MANILA, Philippines - The young spikers of Compostela racked up three straight wins to take the group A lead in the kiddies division of the 2012 Governor Gwen Garcia Unity Volleyball (GUV) Cup at the Cebu International Convention Center.

After winning by default over Bantayan, Compostela went on to beat Asturias, 25-24, 25-15 and Alegria, 25-23, 25-7 to stay unbeaten in the quarterfinal round.

Catmon trails Compostela with a clean 2-0 slate. Catmon, which also won by forfeiture over a no-show Bantayan side, claimed Talisay City as its first official victim via a 25-14, 25-14 decision.

Talisay, however, quickly bounced back and vented its ire on Alegria to occupy the third spot with a 2-1 win-loss record followed by Asturias at 1-1. Asturias barged into the win column at the expense of Alegria, 25-17, 25-14.

In group B, defending champion Mandaue City, Moalboal and Tabogon are in a three-way tie on top of the totem pole with identical 2-0 cards.

Mandaue defeated Sta. Fe, 25-15, 25-21 and Tabuelan, 25-9, 25-6, Moalboal prevailed over Carcar and  Tabuelan, 25-8,25-15, while Tabogon slammed Carcar, 25-13, 25-19 and Sta. Fe, 25-22, 25-21.

Sta. Fe gamely rebounded though with a 25-14, 25-9 crushing of Carcar. (FREEMAN)
