FATHER Duenas would improve to two and one on the season after they defeated the Guam High Panthers in straight sets Friday evening. The Friars who came of a win against the same Panthers on Thursday would defeat them again dropping the Panthers to one and three on the season.
The Friars would win the first set on a tap by Sang Woo Choi, 25-19. The Panthers would come out in the second set ready to play. The Panthers would go up 11-5 forcing the Friars to call time out.
Coming out of the time out the Friars would go on an eight to two run tying the game up at 13 a piece and with the momentum slipping away from the Panthers coach Vaughn Mesa would call a timeout. The timeout would settle the Panthers down, but could not keep the Friars from scoring.
The two teams would continue to trade points but the Friars would finally take their first lead of the second set at 15 – 16 forcing the Panthers to take another timeout. The Friars would score coming out of the timeout to put the Friars up two but the Panthers would not give up scoring three straight they would take the lead once again 18 – 17.
Sang Woo Choi would stop the Panthers’ scoring binge by tapping the ball over the Panthers defenders and into the middle void on the Panthers’ side to tie the game at 18.
The night would end fittingly for Sang Woo Choi as the Friars went on a 7-1 run to end the game and fittingly enough Sang Woo Choi would serve the last three points for the win. Sang Woo Choi seemed to be the Panther killer Friday night stopping every piece of momentum the Panthers would start to get. The Friars won both sets 25 – 19.
The Panthers would be led by Mark Ceres with three kills and Sei Tajima with two kills and five digs in the loss. The Friars’ Sang Woo Choi would finish the game with four kills, an ace and a block.
The Friars’ would also get excellent play from Gregorio Borja who would have eight assists for the Friars. In other games the 3-1 Notre Dame Royals would defeat the 1-2 George Washington Geckos in three sets winning 21-5, 25-13, and 15-7.
The Simon Sanchez Sharks would improve their undefeated record on Friday winning in three sets over the St. John’s Knights 25-21, 23-25, 15-9. The Knights drop to two and two on the season.
