EAC winless no more, stops Mapua

Emilio Aguinaldo College finally bagged its first win in the NCAA Season 93 women’s volleyball tournament after overcoming Mapua in five sets, 25-23, 22-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-12, Thursday at Filoil Flying V Centre.

The win ended the Lady Generals’ five-game losing streak to get to 1-5 while the Lady Cardinals remained winless at lowly 0-6.


Lady Generals head coach Rodrigo Palmero was proud with the resiliency his team showed especially coming off three straight five-setters.

“I can see that there are still some positives in this group,” said Palmero, who also coached the Season 91 men’s champion, in Filipino. “I know these girls are not yet on the top level in terms of skills but I can see that they’re improving.”

“And we’re very happy that after all those five-set games that we were finally able to get a win, it’s like a heavy feeling was lifted off of us.”
