Angel Canino surprised after being named AVC Challenge Cup Best Opposite Spiker
Angel Canino was recognized as the Best Opposite Spiker in the AVC Challenge Cup 2024, an award she did not expect due to the high level of competition and her usual position as an outside hitter.
She scored 14 points in the bronze medal match against Australia, securing the win for the Philippines and their first podium finish at the continental level in 63 years.
Canino expressed her surprise and gratitude, dedicating the achievement to her teammates, coaches, and the Filipino fans, emphasizing that the award was not just hers.
The collegiate volleyball ace adapted to a new role as an opposite spiker for the tournament, as her usual outside hitter position was filled by other PVL stars.
