OKBet Volley: Atienza Selected as ASEAN Grand Prix Best Libero

Kyla Atienza continues to shine in the international volleyball scene.

Atienza, who is 25 years old and in her second international stint, is in her second international stint.

The first set was a real emotional roller coaster. The Philippines were able to reach set point because of the efforts of Michele Gumabao and Jema Galanza, but they were unable to finish the match since Indonesia’s blocking was in full force.

The national women’s team committed two errors in quick succession at the end of the second set, which allowed the Indonesians to take a 2-0 set lead. Stiovanny Yoku Mediol and Nandita teamed up to overcome a 22-23 deficit and win the bronze medal match in the third set for the Philippines.

Galanza finished with 16 points, which she achieved through 14 attacks, one block, and one service ace. Gumabao and Ced Domingo both contributed 15 kills to the team’s total, and Gumabao added 10 kills.

The Philippines came in third place in both the first tournament held in Nakhon Ratchasima in September 2019 and the tournament held in Santa Rosa, Laguna in October 2019. Tots Carlos, who led the scoring against both the host nation of Thailand and Vietnam, finished with seven points for the Philippines.

The Indonesian team ended the quick tournament with a record of 1-2 in terms of wins and losses.

After winning the gold medal match against Vietnam with scores of 25-19, 25-17, and 26-24, Thailand completed a clean three-match sweep.
