In the heat of CESAFI, Velez College Volleyball Men Team, was able to reach the point of fighting for third place or making it to the championship round. The game was a tight
competition.


It started with USJ-R leading, and then at the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th set, the heat began to grow.
Adrenalin rushing, VC gave its all yet still lost by 7 points in the final set.

SET I - USJ-R 25 -VC 12
SET II- USJ-R 26 -VC 24

Last SET USJ-R15 -VC 8

I was also able to have the opportunity to talk to our beloved Dean Emmanuel Pardinian, who was a strong supporter of our Volleyball Team Men.
Dean Pardinian: "Our team man gud needs more exposure, more experience, more tournaments."
Me: What do you think is the advantage of this year's team?
DP: Height, our players have very good heights. And also skill. You know, most of our players are not really Volleyball players. They're just fill-ins. Only Locson, Aaron, Chatto, and Dale are Volleyball players.
Me: So what are the weaknesses you see in this team?
DP: No self-confidence. They really need polishing. But they are actually the best team so far, in my experience of previous teams in Volleyball. Jeff for instance, is the most improved player here. Compared to last year, his performance has greatly improved.
Me: Which player would you think is the best?
DP:I would have to say Locson. He truly is an all around player.
Me: One last thing sir, what can you say about today's game?
DP:It was a hard fought five sets. Although they made a lot of mistakes, they give it their best shot.

And there you have it folks. That was the interview with Dean Pardinian.
