Grace Christian Academy was perfect in the opening day, while Seventh Day Adventist also won its first game in the middle school division of the 2018-2019 Commonwealth Coalition of Private Schools Association Volleyball League.<\/p>\n

GCA 1 eased past Saipan Community School at the Eagles court in Navy Hill, getting the outright win after only two sets, 25-2, 25-7. Despite the early victory, GCA 1 and SCS still dueled in the third set to give players from opposing teams more time to play and the latter somehow showed improvement before the Eagles recorded a 25-17 victory.<\/p>\n

Kat Saures led GCA\u2019s easy win over Saipan Community after registering 7 points off five aces and two spikes. Hye Jin Elliot, Soleil Lamar, Juruel Magtalas, Kean Pajarillaga, and Praise Woo also scored in the Eagles\u2019 sweep of SCS.<\/p>\n

In the other game at the Eagles turf, GCA 2 also made short work of Mt. Carmel School, winning after only two sets. <\/p>\n

Over at the SDA court in Chalan Kiya, the host team topped Agape 2. SDA recorded a 25-16 victory in the first set and clinched the win right in the second set after posting a double-digit spread, 25-15. Then in the third set, SDA was still at it, registering a 15-6 triumph.<\/p>\n

SDA capitalized on the erratic plays of Agape 2 to dominate the match.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SDA was going for its second win yesterday, as it was scheduled to host Agape 1.<\/p>\n

Today, GCA 1 and 2 part ways as they collide in the 3:30pm game. Also set to meet this afternoon are SCS and SIS at the former\u2019s court in Susupe, while MCS will host Agape 2 at its court in Chalan Kanoa.<\/p>\n

For the second week of the league, Agape 1 will take on SCS on Sept. 4 at the Agape court in Middle Road, while the two other matches on Tuesday will feature SDA versus MCS at SDA and Agape 2 against GCA at the Torchbearers\u2019 court.<\/p>\n

For the Wednesday play date, two games will take place with SIS hosting GCA 2 and MCS doing the same when it faces Agape 1. For next Thurday\u2019s matches, the pairing are as follows: GCA 1 vs SDA; SIS vs Agape 2; and GCA 2 vs SCS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
