The Vanguard Volley Hitters brush off an error-filled Spikers' Turf debut to survive in five sets against defending champion NU, while Iloilo takes care of the Air Force in sweeping fashion.

MANILA, Philippines – The Vanguard Volley Hitters stormed through their 2023 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference debut with a huge five-set win over the defending champion NU-Archipelago Builders, 25-18, 18-25, 26-24, 13-25, 15-10, at the Paco Arena on Wednesday, January 25.

Abrot scored 5 of his 15 in the deciding set that Vanguard ultimately took after a 12-3 start despite gifting a staggering 27 service errors overall. Mac Bandola paced the sorry loss with 14 points, while Leo Ordiales scored 11 with a game-high-tying 4 blocks – same as Rwenzmel Taguibolos, who in turn finished with 9 points.

Three players scored in double figures in the win. Captain Jerome Cordez led the way with 15 points while Jade Disquitado scored 14, all off attacks, as Mfena Gwaza commanded the net defense with 11 points, buoyed by a game-high 4 blocks.
