Charo Soriano completed her successful return in the Beach Volleyball Republic On Tour by teaming up with Bea Tan for the women’s crown, while KR Guzman capped his successful weekend on and off the sand court by joining forces with Ian Yee in annexing the men’s title Sunday at Lio Beach in El Nido, Palawan.
Representing Seda Hotels, Soriano and Tan defeated Perlas’ Dzi Gervacio and Roma Doromal, 21-16, 21-19 in the championship match for a perfect 6-0 run in the two-day spikefest held in the one of the country’s finest beaches.
Former University of Santo Tomas stars Guzman and Yee prevailed over DAF-ARMM Hach Gilbuena and Edmar Flores, 21-15, 21-17, to claim the crown.
It was the second time this year that Soriano, who last played in the Santa Ana Open in June, before sitting out in the next two editions, and Tan won a BVR leg.
The sun-kissed pair, who swept all of their four pool matches Saturday, also ruled the Puerto Galera leg last January.
In the semifinals, Soriano and Tan bested Lio Crusaders’ Sydney Eleazar and Paulina Ong, 21-10, 21-7, while Gervacio and Doromal turned back Balai Adlao’s Gizelle Tan and Ria Lo, 21-10, 21-5.
