Another Banner Year For Pila, Laguna Team

San Antonio de Padua College defeated San Beda Alabang, 2-1, grabbing 2nd runner-up honors in the recently concluded 2007 Women's Volleyball League held at San Beda College Manila Gym. St. Scholastica College of Manila captured the gold medal while School of St.Anthony took home the silver.

For the third straight year, San Antonio de Padua College received the Team Sportsmanship Award. The Team Sportsmanship Award is the highest award given by the league to top teams. San Antonio de Padua College middle blocker, Judy Caballejo, is the best server of the league.


School year 2006-2007 is another banner year for the team and Coach Ramon F. Tiongson. Last August 2006, the team captured the Nestea Inter-secondary Beach Volleyball Tournament held at La Salle Greenhills. The SAPC Volleyball team captured the Pila District and Unit Meet Championship plum. The team placed second in the Laguna Provinical Meet and landed in the semi-finals of the Toribio Cup.

The Torbio Cup Championship trophy was won by Hope Christian School and this team eventually became the National Capital Region champion squad and will represent the region in this year’s Palarong Pambansa. Two SAPC middle blockers, Judy Caballejo and Jenine Peñaranda, were chosen to be part of the Southern Tagalog volleyball team which will also compete in the same sports fest to be held in Koronadal City this coming April, 2007.
