The Philippine team put up a good fight but fell down the rankings after they lost to South Korea in a four-set game (25-13, 24-2, 25-7, 25-21) in the Asian Women\u2019s Volleyball (AVC) Cup last Friday, September 21 at the Korat Chathai Hall in Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yerim Go and Hyejin Ha were the top scorers for South Korea at 44 hits, while Alyssa Valdez was the only double-digit converter for the Philippines at 15 markers, 14 kills, and an ace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game opened in favor of South Korea, with the Philippine team having difficulty defending on their side. The favor for the Koreans became as much as 19-8 because of errors from the opposing team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setter Jia Morado led the way for the Philippine team to have a stronger second set, helping Maika Ortiz turn a 6-10 deficit into a 13-10 lead. It was a back and forth battle between the PH and South Korea after that until the set led down to favor the Philippines with a deuce and a steal.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Korea dominated the third set with the Filipinas only able to convert seven points. The difference began with a massive 16-1 run, then a 22-5 lead, until it boiled down to a 25-7 set.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fourth set was a lot like the first, with Ha Hyejin leading the way and Valdez unable to control her hits to remain in bounds. They went back and forth until at 19-18, the Koreans produced four straight points to get that five-point lead. Team Philippines answered, but it was not enough and the set ended at 24-21.<\/span><\/p>\n

To fight for the ninth place, the team of Filipinas have to go against Team Kazakhstan (who recently lost to the Vietnamese team) at 2:30pm on Saturday, September 22.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
