The Philippines drops its second assignment in as many days in the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup to host Indonesia, as Faith Nisperos and Aiza Maizo-Pontillas' offense proved insufficient down the stretch.
MANILA, Philippines – Host country Indonesia cruised to a 25-17, 25-20, 25-10 sweep of the Philippines in the 2023 Asian Volleyball Confederation Challenge Cup for Women in Gresik, East Java on Tuesday, June 20.
Led by the outside-opposite combo of Megawati Pertiwi and Hany Budiarti, Indonesia rallied to take momentum in the second set, where it flipped a 9-10 deficit to a 20-14 lead off a pivotal 11-4 run capped by 4 straight Budiarti attacks. It was then all Indonesia in the blowout third set, as the Filipinas helplessly watched their 10-15 deficit balloon to 15 by the final buzzer, crumbling to a huge 10-0 finishing kick capped by an Erika Raagas attack error from the backrow.
