Getting their acts together just in time, the Batch 80’ outwitted the Batch 94’ for Opening of Alumni Volleyball Tournament with an immense 26-24, 25-23, standing last April 16 at Malaya Cover Court.

Proving they had what it takes, Batch 80 proudly flaunted their veteran team synergy on full display with the help of their team captain and Open Spiker Mark ‘Angel’ Reyes who hammered out 17 big points consisting of 14 attacks and 3 blocks to give their team much deserved win.

“It’s difficult for us, because we are older than our opponents also a big pressure for me and my team because we are part of the LGBTQ Community and also, I’m being thankful because my alma mater had this kind of tournament for us to reunite once again” Reyes quoted in a post-game interview. Team 80 dominantly opened the second frame with a muchneeded comeback from the close fight from the first set but Batch 94 quickly responded back in the start of the last frame as they put up 8-0 run, the 80’s called a timeout.

Changing tactics, Reyes together with Robert Dela Cruz teams 80’s, Middle Blocker led the team with a 7-0 run in the last part of the set to end the game with a kill block and a back row spike.
