Elizabeth Alchin, Georgia Johnson hinagip AVC Nuvali Open bronze

Napagtagumpayan nina Elizabeth Alchin at Georgia Johnson ng Australia ang nakakanerbiyos na laban kontra kina Asami Shiba at Reika Murakami ng Japan, 21-17, 17-21,15-11, upang iuwi ang bronze medalya sa Rebisco Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Beach Tour Nuvali Open noong Sabado sa City of Santa Rosa, Laguna.

Bumawi ang Australian mula sa mahirap na second set na napanalunan ng Japan gamit ang ilang mini-run, tampoka ang mga pinpoint crosscourt hit ni Murakami.

Tinapos ng Don Under players, ang pangalawang pinakamataas na rating na koponang kalahok, ang paluan sa 47 minuto, makaraang dominahin ang third set at nagpakita ng diskarte’t determinasyon kahit pinuna ang match referee dahil sa pagiging medyo maluwag sa mga lift at double contact.

“It’s important in this sport to not let those things affect our process,” sabi ni Johnson. “We try not to get frustrated.”

“As long as it’s fair among the teams, it is what it is,” dagdag pa nito.

Ito ay isang magandang pagtatapos para kina Johnson at Alchin, na pinabagsak sa semis sa umaga nina Shaunna Polley ng New Zealand at Olivia MacDonald, 16-21, 21-23, na humadlang sa all-Australian women’s title match sa torneo, inooroganisa ni Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon “Tats” Suzara, hepe rin ng AVC.

“We’re very happy with the bronze, very happy that we bounced back after that match against New Zealand,” hirit ni Alchin.

“Happy to come back out and play a cool game, three sets, it’s awesome.”
