Bacolod TayTung roars to second win

MANILA, Philippines  - Perennial title-contender Bacolod Tay Tung breezed past Canossa Academy, 25-10, 25-9, for back-to-back wins in the Shakey’s Girls Volleyball Invitational League (SGVIL) Rising Stars Cup Division 1 yesterday at the La Salle Green Hills Gym.

The two-time runner-up provincial squad displayed balanced scoring, with veteran Rhose Almendralejo leading the way, as the Thunderbolts improved to 2-0 for solo lead in Pool B.

Almendralejo had 11 points on eight kills and three aces, Cristina Gale added seven, Faith Banguia chipped in six while Alexa Bertolano finished with five markers for Bacolod Tay Tung, which is considered as one of the biggest threats to National University-Nazareth School’s reign.

“Nakaka-pressure po siya pero alam ko naman po na kaya po namin gawin ang kailangan namin gawin and hina-handle lang namin ng maayos ang pressure,” Bertolano said.
