JAKARTA (UPDATE) - The Philippines ended their stint in the women’s volleyball competition of the 2018 Asian Games in eighth place after a four-set loss to Indonesia on Saturday morning.

The host country hacked out a 25-17, 23-25, 25-19, 25-20 triumph at the GOR Bulungan arena to end the Asiad on a high note.

For the Filipinas, it was a tough ending to their first Asian Games stint in 36 years. They managed only one win in the whole competition — a straight sets triumph over Hong Kong in pool play.

After a poor start that saw them struggle to contain Aprilia Manganang, the Philippines recovered in the second set thanks in part to Dindin Santiago-Manabat, who provided a strong presence at the net.

A service error by Asih Pangestuti clinched the frame for the Philippines and knotted the match at one set apiece.

Indonesia regrouped in the next two frames, however, with Manganang teaming up with older sister Amasya to take turns in punching attacks through the Philippines’ defense.

A late surge by the Filipinas in the fourth set fell short, with Arsela Nuari Purnama finishing off the Philippines with a quick hit.

Mylene Paat led the Filipinas with 10 points, while Alyssa Valdez managed only nine points as she was checked repeatedly by the Indonesian blockers. Jaja Santiago had five markers, and sat out a bulk of the fourth set.

The powerful Manganang finished with 19 points, while Wilda Sugandi added 12.
