player awards.

Vipers team captain Apple Roiles was named the best server.

“Our biggest challenge now is to take home the national title. We have about three months to prepare especially in the selection of additional players for the team to represent Central Visayas,” said SWU head coach Jordan Paca, who was also named as the best coach.

This year, the organizers are encouraging the champion team to pick players from the other teams in the Visayas elimination.
