Asian Schools Volleyball: Singapore defeat Macau for much needed win and keep semi-final hopes alive
Tien Son Sport Complex, Tuesday, August 23, 2011 Singapore beat Macau 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-14) in their Group B preliminary match of the Asian Schools Girls Volleyball Championship. Having lost to Iran 0-3 the previous night, this victory over Macau was a much needed one in order to keep their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive.
Singapore finished the match with 38 kills, four blocks and 11 service aces. Ong Weiyu (Singapore #3) fronted the Singapore attack as she contributed 11 kills to the teams total tally. After a dismal performance in the previous match against Iran, she bounced back to emerge as one of the biggest threats as she pounded the Macau defense with her spikes from the outside.

So this could be win or go home.
But that doesn’t mean it’s definitely a farewell tour.
Former UCLA coach Terry Donahue survived the hot seat in 1980 by beating USC to cool things down. Get more…
