Volleyball World</div>MANILA -- The Alas Pilipinas Girls will play in the knockout phase of the FIVB Volleyball Girls U17 World Championship, despite a loss to Venezuela in their final group round assignment on Tuesday at the Liceo Mixto San Felipe in Chile.The Alas Girls could not complete a comeback against world No. 12 Venezuela, absorbing a 19-25, 16-25, 25-22, 25-19, 11-15 loss.Despite the setback, the team is still headed to the round-of-16 on the strength of their wins over world No. 8 Mexico and world No. 20 Tunisia.Caera Celis had 24 points from 22 attacks and two aces, while Xyz Rayco delivered 19 from 17 attacks, a block and an ace as the Philippines closed pool play with a 2-3 win-loss record.Jhaynna Bulandres, a starter in the previous matches, proved effective off the bench as she came up with timely hits in the third and fourth sets, scoring eight on six attacks and two blocks.&nbsp;Venezuela, which finished pool play with a 3-2 record, got 27 points from Colina Lezama Yalesca Lileagne, and 15 from Amanda Estefania Pacheco Gonzalez.The Alas Girls will now play South Korea with a place in the quarterfinals on the line.Regardless of the result of that match, this is already the best finish by a Philippine volleyball team at the world championship level, surpassing the 19th place finish of the Alas Pilipinas Men in the FIVB Volleyball Men&#39;s World Championship last year in Manila.&quot;It&#39;s fulfilling to see these kids succeed and achieve more, because it&#39;s the start of their journey in international volleyball. We&#39;re looking forward to seeing these 14 players be future national team players in the senior level,&quot; said team manager and assistant coach Karl Chan.
