DAVAO CITY—Davaoena spiker Faith Nisperos is part of the Alas Pilipinas Women’s National Volleyball Team that won a historic bronze medal at the 2024 Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Challenger Cup hosted by the Philippines.
Nisperos was a high school varsity student at Ateneo de Davao University before she decided to play in Metro Manila.
The towering Davaoeno middle blocker played sparingly in the historic win of Alas Pilipinas.
The team’s win marked the first time in 63 years that a Philippine team has reached the podium in the prestigious event.
Despite a tough loss to Kazakhstan on Tuesday for a chance to win the gold, the team bounced back with remarkable determination to dominate the Australian team in the bronze medal match.
The nationals secured the bronze with set scores of 25-23, 25-15, and 25-7. This victory was especially significant as it mirrored their earlier triumph over the same team at the start of the campaign. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
