ALEXA POLIDARIO and Erjane Magdato of UNO-R displayed better court smarts in beating Samaa Miyagawa of Japan and Tin Lai of Hong Kong, 21-15, 21-18, to annex the women’s championship in the Beach Volleyball Republic On Tour Tuesday at the Rizal Boulevard sand court. In what could be the most well-attended leg in the three-year-old beach volleyball circuit, Polidario and Magdato neutralized the visitors’ power game to prevail, delighting the huge crowd that braved the light showers induced by Tropical Depression “Samuel” at the venue. It was Polidario and Magdato’s first BVR title since ruling the Santa Fe, Bantayan Island leg last March. (PR)
