HANGZHOU. – Its appeal for inclusion of two replacement players denied, the Philippine women’s 3×3 team decided to withdraw from the 19th Asian Games with a heavy heart.
Coach Pat Aquino said the team was left with no recourse as it only had Camille Nolasco and Louna Ozar in its roster after the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee thumbed down last-minute replacements Cielo Pagdulagan and Marga Villanueva.
Pagdulagan and Villanueva were supposed to take the place of 3×3 veterans Camille Clarin and Angel Surada.
