PSL Grand Prix Preview: Foton seeks crown sans Santiago sisters

Feb 15, 2019, 02:52 AM ET

Foton has always been known as the team that brought Din-Din Santiago-Manabat and Jaja Santiago together. The last time they dominated the Grand Prix was during the 2016 season when the Santiago sisters joined forces with Ariel Usher, Lindsay Stalzer and Ivy Perez en route to securing back-to-back Grand Prix titles.

But now that the Santiago sisters have taken their talents to Japan as imports, the height that Foton had always been known for is now conspicuously absent and they have reinvented themselves as a quick, defense-oriented unit that still contends in the PSL.

University of Tsukuba schools Team Sparkle

University of Tsukuba delivered a strong statement when it opened its campaign in the 2019 PSL Super Cup on Tuesday night.

The Japanese flaunted their depth and chemistry as they picked apart Team Sparkle in straight-set fashion, 25-8, 25-12, 25-20, at the FilOil Flying V Centre.

Deploying each weapon in its arsenal, the reigning titleholder of the All Japan Intercollegiate Volleyball Championship dictated the tempo in the first and second frames. Though the Filipinas put up a strong stand midway through the decisive third set, the visiting team proved too much down the stretch.

“We tried to play our best and we can play very hard,” said Tsukuba team captain Miho Yokota, who generated the offense for the Japan contingents with 14 excellent sets.

Marina Takahashi emerged as the lone double-digit scorer in the match, leading nine Japanese on the offensive end. She pummeled 16 points built on 10 attacks, five kill blocks and an ace. She also had seven excellent digs to her name.

Miku Isogai finished a point shy of breachi
