The Saipan Community School Guardians boys varsity volleyball team won their first game in the second day of games in the NMIVA-PSS Interscholastic Middle School Volleyball League 2022-2023 last Thursday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.
The Guardians defeated Hopwood Middle School varsity in two sets, putting the Guardians at 1-1 in the win-loss column so far in the season.
Guardians team captain David Ye helped lead his team with hard spikes and defense at the net, edging the Hilitais in a close first set and getting out of the jam, 23-21.
In the second set, the Hilitais tried to force a tie-breaking third set as their rotation of Kios Martino, Jay Manas, NJ Pino, Rafael Pascual, Raven Pascual, Twayne Kapwich, Alvin Saimon, Tyrses Monkeya, Randolph Cobacaha, and Leelan Litulumar, tried their best to navigate through the Guardians’ defenses.
A series of the Hilitais’ points were landed from a few aces, but after their streak was broken, the Guardians grabbed the chance and retaliated.
The Guardians’ Ma’ase Deoro, Oliver Huang, Daniel Li, David Park, Landon Springer, and Eugene So helped their team captain from a few aces up their sleeves, and with their well placed returns, caused the Hilitais to slip up and make a few mistakes, costing them the second set, 21-16.
