ICYMI: The Philippine women's volleyball team cruised to a lopsided 2023 SEA Games debut against host nation Cambodia, which is fielding a team for the first time in more than 50 years. SEAGames32 Cambodia2023
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine women’s volleyball team cruised to a dreamlike debut at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games after destroying the newly built Cambodian national squad, 25-5, 25-5, 25-5, in Phnom Penh on Tuesday, May 9.
Cambodia, which only held tryouts last year and has not fielded a team in more than 50 years, only scored 4 points that did not come off errors from the Philippines. “I think the Philippines [did] the job. Serves, receives. They really committed to it, to just push the opponent, to stay in different levels,” said Philippine head coach Jorge de Brito. “It’s hard to play when the difference is so much, but our team is really good today. They kept the pressure and I like this.”
