THE Philippine men’s volleyball team powered by Bryan Bagunas and Steve Rotter displayed athleticism to sweep Afghanistan, 25-23, 25-16, 25-12, on Wednesday for a historic win in the Hangzhou 19th Asian Games at the Deqing Sports Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China.
Philippine National Volleyball Federation President Ramon “Tats” Suzara congratulated the boys for establishing the country’s first victory after 49 years in the continental sporting event and hoping they sustain the momentum. The Philippines, however, is facing a gargantuan task to try to secure a spot in the Round of 16 when it takes on a formidable World No. 5 Japanese squad on Thursday night. Only the top two squads from each of the six brackets will go to the knockout phase.
