The Philippines came up short in a 12-25, 16-25, 16-25 loss to the Vietnamese squad led by Tran Thi Thanh Thuy in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. The Filipinas now have a 0-2 record while Vietnam remains undefeated in two games. Vietnam flexed muscles early as Tran spearheaded a fiery run for a 16-7 advantage. She stretched their lead to 22-9 after a sharp crosscourt spike before an ace. It was a tight game in the second set as Philippines moved closer to Vietnam, 8-10, after a Jema Galanza hit. Vietnam’s Doan Thi Xuan&#x27;s powerful hit made it 14-11. From there, they stepped on the gas pedal as they zoomed in to a 19-13 separation after Doan’s solid rejection of Rose Vargas.The Vietnamese team did not look back as Tran imposed her will in the front line, 23-15. In the third frame, the Philippines had a hard time penetrating through the net defense of Vietnam. Tran, on the other hand, kept herself busy scoring almost automatically to give Vietnam a commanding 12-6 lead. The Philippines threatened to come back as they cut deficit to two, 10-12, only to allow Vietnam to widen the gap anew, 16-11. Nguyen Thi Uyen hammered an attack to make it a 20-13 advantage. A service error from Celine Domingo put Vietnam on match point, 24-16.
