JOEVEN dela Vega steadied the ship for the semis-bound PGJC-Navy as they caught momentum heading into the semifinals of the 2024 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference.
Dela Vega provided the clutch points to lift his team to a thrilling 25-19, 22-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-10 win over fellow semifinals-bound D’Navigators Iloilo at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium last Sunday.
He tallied 19 points to power his team to a 6-2 mark at the end of the preliminaries.
Dela Vega was named the Spikers’ Turf Player of the Week for April 24 to 28.
Although they have qualified for the semis, Dela Vega said the win boosted their confidence for the next round when they face the D’Navigators anew on May 5.
“Siyempre, sobrang importante nito kasi na-boost ‘yung morale namin as a team, kasi makakalaban din namin sila (D’Navigators) sa semis so parang pondo na rin para sa amin,” he said.
