Jovelyn Gonzaga led Cignal to a commanding victory over Farm Fresh, showcasing her versatility and determination on the court.
After a heartbreaking defeat to Creamline, the HD Spikers were hungry for redemption. And Gonzaga, known for her unwavering commitment and skill, rose to the occasion.
With precision and passion, she orchestrated a flawless performance that left spectators in awe.
Coach Shaq delos Santos couldn't help but commend Gonzaga for her exceptional leadership and stellar play.
"The team truly committed themselves to perform at their best, and Jovelyn's leadership was exceptional. Her communication on the court and her performance spoke volumes," he praised.
Gonzaga, humble yet determined, acknowledged the responsibility thrust upon her in the absence of Rachel Daquis, a pivotal player for the team. Drawing from her experiences with the Philippine Army, Gonzaga revealed how those moments shaped her into the leader she is today.
"While Rachel is the calming presence on the court, I knew I had to step up in her absence. Ces [Molina] has taken on the role of team captain, and I felt the need to support her. My time with the Army taught me the importance of leadership, and I carried that with me onto the court," Gonzaga shared.
For Gonzaga, it wasn't just about individual performance but alleviating the burden on her teammates and coaching staff.
"As a seasoned player, I understand the weight of responsibility. We have goals to achieve, and it's crucial for me to step up and lighten the load on our coaching staff and team captain," she emphasized.
