June 10 ------ Youngsters took matters into their own hands to tow Alas Pilipinas Women to a 22-25, 25-23, 25-13, 28-26, to remain unblemished in the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup at the Dong anh Gymnasium in Hanoi, Vietnam.


Alyssa Solomon, who was fielded for the first time in the tournament, proved her worth by leading the charge on her 17-point outing anchored on 10 attacks, four blocks, and three aces to help the Filipinas cruise to a 2-0 start in Pool B.  The former NU star got ample help from her teammates with fellow youngster Angel Canino and Bella Belen chipping in 15 and 12 markers apiece in the hard-fought win. 


The Indonesians fell to a 0-2 win-loss card. Alas raced to the first match point when Fifi Sharma unleashed a strong kill from the middle, giving the world no. 50 Philippines a 24-23 lead in the fourth set. But Indonesia staged a comeback attempt with Ersandrina Devega dropping a soft touch on the open side and Canino committing an attack error as the opposing side took their own match point at 25-24. 


Canino, though, atoned for that mistake by converting two consecutive attacks that allowed a youth-laden Alas to take another match point at 27-26. Shaina Nitura put the punctuation, going for an off-the-block kill to seal it for the nationals.
