Unexpected injury hurts Pons, FEU


Just as Game One of the semifinals series between top-seeded Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws and the Ateneo de Manila University Lady Eagles was about to begin, an unfortunate incident happened.

During the pre-game warmup, Bernadeth Pons felt a snap in her left ankle. The coaching staff tried to alleviate the pain through taping, but it was not enough.

“Tinry ko kasing tumalon kanina, masakit talaga siya. Pero sa floor naman depensa makakaya ko,” the prolific spiker shared.

Pons could not help but cry. However, she said it had been mostly out of frustration since she would not be able to help the team. Worse, she felt it could have dampened the spirits of the Lady Tams.SVL-College-2016-FEU-vs.-CSB-Palma-8363 Unexpected injury hurts Pons, FEU FEU News PVL Volleyball  - philippine sports news

“Nung umiyak ako, parang gusto na rin nilang umiyak,” she shared.

“Siguro hindi lang prepared na may kulang [yung team]. Yun mentally.”

The former Palarong Pambansa Best Attacker, however, feels that FEU can bounce back in time for Game 2, with or without her.

“Siguro kung sa Wednesday, i-advice na ipahinga ko muna mas mapaghahandaan nila, mapag-eensayuhan nila.”

“Alam ko na kaya nila,” she concluded.
