MGCNL’s Volleyball 14-Under Sweeps PCYAA Championship

With a score of 25-17, 25-10, MGCNLCA decimated Jubilee Christian Academy (JCA) in the Philippine Ching Yuen Athletic Association (PCYAA) Season 11 Inaugural Volleyball Aspirants Division with straight sets last Saturday, December 9  at the Philippine Cultural College (PCC) in Manila. 

The team was anchored by team captain Andrea Reyes and captain ball Annika Tan, with Tan clinching the Player of the Game title in their final match. Heading the 14-under team are coaches Manilla Ng and Carmela Garbin. 

“I feel very happy and thankful because we’ve been working and training hard for this game,” said Tan when asked about her thoughts on the championship title. “We’ve been showing our best by applying everything we learned from training.”

This was not the first time JCA was left in the finals dust, as MGCNL had held them off in the previous year’s FCAAF finals. 

“I think one of our biggest challenges was our defense because we weren’t able to focus our training on that aspect,” noted Tan. “But, we overcame it by communicating and encouraging each other.”

St. Stephen’s High School and Uno High School clinched third and fourth place respectively.
