(Kimberly A. Bautista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Agape Christian School defeated Saipan International School 2 in two sets, while Grace Christian Academy topped two Mt. Carmel School teams in the 2019-2020 PSS Interscholastic Girls High School Volleyball League last Thursday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium. <\/p>\n<p>Agape eked out a 25-20 victory in the first set and then had an easier triumph in the second, 25-17, for the sweep.<\/p>\n<p>In the GCA-Mt. Carmel showdown, the Lady Eagles also needed only two sets to down MCS 1, 25-13, 25-7. For its second game, GCA eased past MCS 2 in the opening set, 25-8, and then duplicated its earlier win after a 25-17 triumph in the second.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, SIS 1, MHS 2, Saipan Southern High School, and Kagman High School were the other teams that competed in last Thursday\u2019s games.<\/p>\n<p>The Lady Geckos 1 earned a double-digit win over MCS 2 in the first set, 25-15, and then secured the sweep with a dominant victory, 25-9. <\/p>\n<p>While SIS 1 eased its way past MCS 2, it was a different story for MHS 2, which took three sets to notch the win. The Lady Dolphins got the first set, 25-19, but the Lady Manta Rays redeemed themselves in the second set, 25-15. With the game tied, the opposing squads played in the deciding third set with MHS 2 winning, 15-8. <\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday\u2019s games were the last set of matches played in the league, which is put on hold until repairs at the MHS Gymnasium are done.<\/p>\n<p>Public School System\u2019s Student Support Services athletic program director Nick Gross announced last Monday that they are postponing after- school sports programs at the facility after discovering additional damage at the gym. PSS does not wants students to play in an unsafe facility and it vowed to fast-track the repair work so games can resume by next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agape Christian School defeated Saipan International School 2 in two sets, while Grace Christian Academy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[698],"class_list":["post-308729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","tag-gca"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308729\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
