Mandaue City, Cebu – Behind Césafi (Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc.) Impressive podium champion of the University of San Carlos (USC) in the Super League (SSL) National Invitationals by Shakey’s Super League (SSL), the Lady Warriors leg, the leadership of the former triple antigua.
Antigua, the former setter of the national team who won the Sea Games Gold three times in 1981, 1985 and 1987, and also finished finalist from 1983, was proud of the Lady Warriors for having shown their talent and fighting for school pride to win two of their three games, including a dizzying five sets on Aneneo, which was once the best UAAP team.
A slow start in the first set did not prevent USC from securing a podium in the visaya leg of the SSL, which is based on the Résafi rival foundation of the South University of the Philippines (USPF), 22-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-14, Sunday in front of their interior crowd at the Mandaue sports complex here.
Antigua, who also played Beach Volley in the 1994 Asian Games, said that she was still learning as a coach despite her achievements and her experience on the international scene as a national team player.
“Yes, I am a national player, but I always treat it as a learning experience,” anti -uigua told journalists in Philippin. “People could say that I have a big advantage because of my experience, and it is true to some extent.”
The Tactician based in Cebu said that his time as part of the staff of the Alas Pilipinas coach, Jorge Souza de Brito, during the 31st Sea Games in Vietnam, led to his break as a champion of Césafi and Podium SSL finisher.
“I had a lot of international exhibition, and I was also an assistant coach under the Brito coach during the Sea Games in Vietnam. It was also a huge moment of learning for me, “she said.
‘Big problem’
And one thing she teaches her Lady Warriors after they have become a trendy subject on the heels of their 19-25, 23-25, 25-21, 25-21, 15-13 of Blue Eagles on Saturday evening is to always keep on the ground.
“Take sure, be humble and take it with positive energy for our next Céfi season,” she said.
The USC was assured of at least one bronze medal with a 2-1 end in the 2-day three-day leg in Cebu.
If Adamson finishes a three -game scan in his current match against Ateneo from press time, the USC appears as the finalist of the Visayas tournament.
“All this experience is a big problem for us, and we are really grateful that the Shakey Super League came here. It was a big event for our Céfi season,” she said. “I see a future (brilliant) for this team, and I hope that we can maintain this level and even do more, especially when the games of Cesafi start.”
The USPF ended up in three games.
