Final Score: ISY 3 - ISM 2
The ISY High School Girls Volleyball team faced off in an exciting and highly competitive friendly match against ISM, coming out on top with a hard-fought 3-2 victory. The match showcased the team’s exceptional communication and strong teamwork on the court, as well as their determination to push through to the end.
Angel and Lae Lae stood out as key players, consistently making smart plays and delivering point-winning hits that challenged the opponents throughout the match. This game was a great opportunity for the team to demonstrate their skills and continue developing their cohesion as a unit.
Well done to the whole team on this impressive performance!
| 🏐 ISY vs. ILBC YAC Boys Volleyball Semi-Finals |
Final Score: ISY 3 - ILBC 0
The ISY Boys Volleyball team demonstrated its ability to strategically adapt in the YAC Semi-Finals against ILBC. After a closely contested first set, the team successfully implemented their game plan, finding their rhythm to secure commanding leads and a solid 3-0 victory.
The games were a masterclass in incredible teamwork, with the players showing unwavering support and commitment to collaboration. Their focus on building a well-rounded team—where every member contributes effectively—made this win a true collective achievement.
Great job to the whole team for their determination and unity!
| ⚽ ISY Girls vs. HEROS Boys Friendly Match |
Final Score: ISY 0 - HEROS 4
Penalty Shoot-Out: ISY 3 - HEROS 1
The ISY Girls Football team delivered an inspiring demonstration of grit and determination in their match against the Heroes.
In the first half, our strategy focused on counterattacks. The second half saw a shift to a possession-based approach, with quick passing, overlapping runs, and switching sides. This shift in strategy unlocked our attacking potential further, leading to the creation of several promising opportunities.
This match was a strong demonstration of the team's ongoing improvement in both attacking play and teamwork. That development translated directly into success in the penalty shoot-out, where the team was flawless on offense and goalkeeper Jessica delivered two game-winning saves.
Special mentions go to Jessica, who showed incredible composure and skill in goal, and to Kyi Sin, who stood out as a tireless and confident side back, excelling in both defense and dribbling. Great effort, ISY girls!
