Interestingly, she was the only Vietnamese in double-digit scoring.The Vietnamese visitors will advance to the semifinals and are set to face the Czech Republic Saturday at the same Manila venue.The Czech Republic won against Argentina earlier in the day, 25-15, 25-22, 25-16, to book a semis ticket.After missing entirely on the sole Volleyball Nations League (VNL) spot up for grabs this tourney, next up for Alas is the SEA V.League later this year.&quot;Sa SEA V League, ganon din naman, makakalaban natin yung mga teams na nakakalaban natin sa SEA Games. It’s the same,&quot; De Guzman said.&quot;After today’s game, we go back to the drawing board, we go back to training, improve what we can from this game, individually and as a team. So ganun din naman talaga ang volleyball,&quot; she went on.
