Angatleta Sports-Orion, Bataan and VNS-Savouge forged a semifinal duel with easy win against their respective quarterfinal foes in the 2024 Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) Under-18 Championship boys’ division on Sunday, April 21, at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. 

Orion, Bataan swept Pool A and didn’t skip a beat in the crossover knockouts with a 25-22, 25-19, 25-18 win over Taytay, Rizal in only 87 minutes of play. 

Pool B No. 3 seed VNS-Savouge, for its part, stunned Pool A second-placer La Salle-Lipa with a 22-25, 25-23, 25-13, 25-17 comeback win in one hour and eight minutes.

Orion, Bataan and VNS-Savouge will battle for a slot in the finals on Friday at the same venue. 

Umingan National High School from Pangasinan, which also wiped out Pool B with a 5-0 slate, and the Philippine Christian University as well as Hermosa, Bataan and and Canossa Academy-Lipa are still clashing at press time to complete the other semis pairing. 

In the girls’ play, unbeaten National University picked up where it left off by trouncing fellow UAAP bet La Salle-Zobel, 25-18, 25-16, 25-17, while La Salle-Lipa bested Gracel Christian College, 25-14, 25-13, 25-21, to set their own semis clash. 

NU and La Salle-Lipa joined University of Santo Tomas and Kings’ Montessori School, which arranged the first girls’ semis duel after also making short work of Canossa Academy-Lipa and San Juan Institute of Technology-Batangas with similar three-set victories. 

The ongoing quarterfinals are being played under the traditional five-setter formats from the short three-set plays in the group phase featuring a total of 12 teams in each division. 

Like the quarters, the semifinals and finals are to be disputed in a win-or-go-home duel for the prestigious crown of the first youth tourney of the PNVF headed by President Ramon “Tats” Suzara.
