MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine women’s volleyball team will have one last crack at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games podium when they take on Indonesia in the bronze-medal match on Sunday, May 14, 6 pm .
Led by the likes of PVL MVPs Tots Carlos, Mylene Paat, and Jema Galanza, the Filipina spikers are taking some leftover momentum from their sweep loss against, which featured a promising nip-and-tuck first set where the Philippines actually threatened the 28-year defending champions until 22-all. However, the Indonesians are also carrying some momentum of their own mixed with a sprinkling of anger after they fell short of the gold-medal match in a tight five-setter against reigning silver medalist Vietnam.
This will be the fourth straight bronze-medal match for the Philippines since returning from a 10-year hiatus in 2015 and the third consecutive consolation tussle with Indonesia. Four straight bronze-medal matches, four straight losses. Will 2023 be the year the Philippines finally breaks through?
