In a fiercely contested rivalry against the College of Engineering (COE) ASTEEGs, the College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) Vanguards once again proved their dominance, claiming a back-to-back championship from their last Intramurals’ gold campaign in a heart-pounding 3-1 Sepak Takraw showdown at the University Gymnasium, October 9.
By strategically substituting their key player in the first set to reserve their energy, the Vanguards initially faced a daunting 10-21 deficit. However, this tactical move propelled them to assert their dominance in the subsequent three sets, securing a commanding lead.
"Sa una, mga bench namo ang gipasulod, para pud ma-enjoy nila ang Intrams. So, kami nga key players kay ulahi nami nag-sulod para maka-relax mi ug makakuha mi og momentum," explained the team captain of the Vanguards, John Coronado.
Led by their star athletes, Dave Santos, Adrian Cañas, and Coronado, the Vanguards displayed a remarkable transformation in the proceeding sets, completely shifting the tides in their favor, showcasing their prowess with consecutive scorelines of 21-16, 21-16, and 21-17, sealing a massive comeback.
"Dako kaayo na privilege sa amo, labaw na karon nga 50th anniversary. Dako kaayo ang kahulugan niini sa amoang sporting journey," Coronado emphasized, highlighting the profound significance of this milestone in their gold-medal finish.
