The Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts shocked
Far Easter University in the opening match of the Rebisco Volleyball League,
20-25, 25-22, 25-19 at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.
The much smaller Thunderbolts looked unsettled
in the first set as the much taller Lady Tamaraws landed one booming spike
after another behind Alexis Miner, Ann Goc, and Lyann De Guzman.
“This was our first time to play in a beautiful
and air-conditioned venue like the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex,” said Tay Tung
head coach Evelyn Aguillon. “We aren’t used to this and the girls found it
cold. Hindi ba sanay maglaro sa air-conditioned venue. Plus, na-intimidate
kami.”
The Thunderbolts came back in the second set
with well-placed shots behind Alyssa Bertolano and the expert setting Marianne
Sotomil that had FEU scrambling.
“Nung una, nerbyos kami,” admitted Sotomil.
“Coach just said, settle down. Use yung advantage namin sa speed and of course,
placement ng palo.”
In recent years, Tay Tung High School has become
the volleyball power in Bacolod supplanting the University of St. La Salle.
