FATIGUE aside, Jau Umandal was again a man on a mission as he steered Cignal to its second straight five-set victory in the 2024 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference.
But as Bagunas flew back to Taiwan to fulfill prior commitments with WinStreak, Umandal took flight just three days later and proved there’s room in the team for more than one hard-hitting hotshot, extending the HD Spikers’ unbeaten run to six. Umandal’s masterful charge which saw the defending champions book their semis ticket earned him a unanimous Spikers’ Turf Player of the Week citation for the period of April 17 to 21.“‘Di ko expected na aabot ako sa ganito kataas. Usually naman, ‘di kami nanalo nang dahil lang sa akin dahil sa buong team. So parang ‘di ko siya inisip na kailangan marami akong i-puntos. Gusto ko lang talaga makatulong,” Umandal said.
Following back-to-back five-set triumphs in a span of 72 hours, Umandal refused to be knocked over easily and made sure he’d have more than enough left in the tank when the call of duty arrives.
