3 PSL teams to test PH volleybelles’ mettle

It's going to be a war as three teams test the mettle of the national women’s volleyball squad in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) Super Cup starting today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

3 PSL teams to test PH volleybelles’ mettle
Shown here are (back row, from left) PH Team coach Shaq Delos Santos; Abby Marano, Team Captain, PHI Team; Carl Dimaculangan, Head Coach Team Shine; Becca Rivera, Team Captain, Team Shine; Miho Yukota and Coach Tasumi Nakanishi of University of Tsukuba Japan; Coach Vilet De Leon of Team Sparkle; (seated, from left) Paul Reyes of ESPN 5; PSL President Ian Laurel; PSL Director Ginuio Panganiban and LVPI Vice President Peter Cayco. 

Fresh from a 12-day training camp in Japan, the Nationals clash with PSL Shine at 5 p.m. right before the collision between University of Tsukuba and PSL Sparkle in the 7 p.m. featured attraction of this pocket tournament that aims to prepare the Philippine Team for the 30th Southeast Asian Games.

A simple opening ceremony set at 3 p.m. with no less than PSL chairman Philip Ella Juico and Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) vice president Peter Cayco tipped to deliver inspiring messages to the Nationals.

In a press conference yesterday, PSL president Ian Laurel reiterated the league’s all-out support to the national squad that is aiming for a podium finish in the prestigious biennial meet set this December at the Philsports Arena.

The last time the national women’s squad emerged with a podium finish in the SEA Games was when the country had its hosting in 2005. Since then, the team skipped the biennial meet for 10 consecutive years before falling short of a medal in the 2015 and 2017 meets in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, respectively.

Laurel said they are leaving no stone unturned in preparing the squad.

“This event was organized primarily to help the national team prepare for the upcoming Southeast Asian Games,” said Laurel during the general technical meeting and press briefing of this event that has Summit Hotel as official residence and Foton as official vehicle in cooperation with Petron, F2 Logistics, Generika-Ayala, Cignal, Sta. Lucia, Marinerang Pilipina and PLDT Home Fibr.

“We know that the SEA Games is not a picnic. That’s why we’re extending whatever help we can to the LVPI to make sure that its goal of emerging with a medal will be achieved.”

National team head coach Shaq Delos Santos said the pocket tourney will be a big boost to their preparation as they would be able to apply all the lessons they gained from their 12-day camp in Japan.

“We would be giving our all because we’re playing in front of our countrymen,” said Delos Santos, who will bank on skipper Aby Maraño, Mika Reyes, Kalei Mau, Mylene Paat, Dawn Macandili, Majoy Baron, Frances Molina, Rhea Dimaculangan, Jovelyn Gonzaga, Kat Arado and Eya Laure.

“This is a golden chance for us to show what we’ve got and learn from the Japanese team along the way.”

But winning in this competitive pocket tourney will never be easy.

PSL Shine, for instance, is tipped to give the Nationals a run for their money as it is bannered by former national team players Aiza Maizo-Pontillas, Denden Lazaro MJ Philips with the support crew of Remy Palma, Buding Duremdes, Fiola Ceballos, Ria Meneses, Patty Orendain, Mean Mendrez, Bia General, Amanda Villanueva, Eli Soyud, Rebecca Rivera, Des Clemente, Alex Cabanos and Fritz Gallenero.

Generika-Ayala assistant coach Carl Dimaculangan will be calling the shots.

“For us, this will be a good exposure to the players and the coaches as well,” said Dimaculangan, one of the country’s best young coaches who also calls the shots for University of the East.

“This is a big deal for us because we’ll be having a chance to help the national team. So expect a strong performance from us and we’re hoping to give them a very good fight.”

Also tipped to steal the thunder is University of Tsukuba, the reigning champion in the All-Japan Intercollegiate League.

The squad arrived Monday and head coach Yasumi Nakanishi couldn’t contain his excitement in facing the finest Filipino volleyball players.

“We’re excited for this event,” Nakanishi said. “I don’t know much about Filipino volleyball, but I’m looking forward to playing against these teams.”
