SABLAN, Benguet – Sablan flirted with a third set meltdown, lost a four – point lead and even staring at set point in favor of La Trinidad, but managed to escape for a 25-16, 25-18, 29-27 victory in the Cong. Eric Go Yap Congressional Cup Benguet Women’s Volleyball League Sunday at the Sablan Municipal Gym.
Jasmyne Polon and Sheryl Estal proved as the 1-2 punch for the Gov. Diclas Cup champion as they scored 22 and 12 points, respectively as Sablan won its third game in 72 minutes of action.
Polon did the yeoman’s task as she scored on 16 attacks, five aces and a block to power Sablan past one of the stronger teams in the league. Estal, on the other hand, had 11 attacks and a service ace in the game.
Hannah Dumpit added eight markers for Sablan on six attacks, one service ace and a block.
“The team is not yet complete, we need the others who are not yet with us and we need to practice more, together,” said coach Edrix Sofla after the game in front of their townmates led by mayor Alfredo Dacumos, Jr.
“It’s a tough road yet, we need to see the other strong teams and we know we will be competing against,” said Polon, the most valuable player in the last Baguio Benguet Educational Athletic League where her Baguio College of Technology defeated the University of Baguio for the title.
She added that Kapangan and Itogon are the team to beats in the league.
