Spikers dominate courts of sand

A fighter
Enormous digs on the rough sand and her immense
saves off the court may leave the audience astonished on their seats while
watching her wild plays. FEU’s Christine Agno is one of the new key additions
for Coach Joseph Santos’ team.
She is the current libero of FEU Women’s Volleyball
team and now changing her style from the solid court to the rough sands.
Adjusting is her top priority now as she is
having a hard time regarding her performance on the sand court. The 18-year-old
native of Legaspi City drastically gave emphasis on her struggles and how she
adjusted.
“Nu’ng una talaga mahirap kasi iba yung galaw
namin, pero tinulungan talaga ako ng Men’s [team] at ni Coach [Santos]
mag-adjust t’saka sarili ko na din (At first it was hard because our moves was
different, but the men’s team and Coach Santos really helped me a lot, and also
myself),” said Agno.
Her struggles and discontentment served as her
motivation to strived to be a better player.
Being a student-athlete, Agno confessed that she
do not go out too much because of school works and all the trainings for the
upcoming season.
“Sa gabi ko talaga ginagawa lahat. Kunyari, mga
gagawa ng assignment, mag-aaral tapos maglalaba. (I am doing everything at
night like my assignment, studying and my laundry),” she added.
Though playing for FEU would mean being far from
home, no tears and pain would actually stop her from pursuing her passion and
love for volleyball.
These two volleyball lovers won’t simply stop at
nothing just to carry the green-and-gold flag all the way to the top. Two words
will be the keys to grab the championship--hunger and focus.
Philippine Women’s Volleyball: My Dream Team
paoikan
Let me start with my second libero. I would choose
Christine Agno of FEU. Just like Reyes, she is very quick and she has a good
anticipation one would always wonder how she manages to come out of nowhere for
the digs and receptions. She is a prized recruit of coach Nes Pamilar and it
would be good to have her in the national team.

MANILA, Philippines - Far Eastern University
proved to be unstoppable after overpowering University of the East in straight
sets, 25-14, 25-15, 25-11 in the 76th UAAP women's volleyball tournament on
Wednesday, December 4 at The Arena in San Juan.
Bernadette Pons anchored the Lady Tamaraws'
attack in a battle of underdog squads with 10 attacks while Gyzelle Sy
delivered 28 sets.
The much taller FEU crew utilized their size
advantage as the smaller Lady Warriors succumbed in the match. UE also gave away
points on errors while UST scored on blocks.
"We want to return to the Final Four. We
missed the playoffs last year," said FEU head coach Shaq Delos Santos.
"Hopefully, magtuloy-tuloy. Hindi lang siya
(Pons) pero lahat-lahat."

Underdogs FEU, UE lock horns

Far Eastern University
targets a return to the Final Four when they open their 76th UAAP women's
volleyball tournament campaign against University of the East Wednesday at the
FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
After missing the
semifinals last season, the Lady Tamaraws bring back the core of Gyzel Sy, Tin
Agno and May Roxas as the perennial contenders look to gain their first title
since 2008.
Sophomore Rem Palma
also returns after an impressive rookie season even as freshman Bernadeth Pons
makes her collegiate debut after a stellar high school career.
"Nandyan na yung
potential," said head coach Shaq delos Santos. "Kailangan lang mas
maging tight pa yung team at mabuo sila as one para maganda yung communication
sa loob."
Delos Santos sure
knows what he's talking about, as FEU showed impressive form in the offseason
by placing second in the 2013 Unigames, where they eliminated three-time
reigning UAAP champion De La Salle University.
On the other hand, the
Lady Warriors, who were winless in Season 75, look to end the drought this
year.
That would be easier
said than done, however, as coach Boy Dalistan would have to take on the giants
of the UAAP sans his mainstays like Leuseht Dawis, Shiesa Nebrida and Grace
Masangkay.
The trio has opted to
not suit up this season, pushing Faith Bulan and rookie Shaya Adorador to the
spotlight.
The game will air live
over Studio 23, BALLS SkyCable HD 167 and uaapsports.tv with a same day replay
on BALLS SkyCable channel 34/ Destiny Cable channel 36.
