Van Lang University was placed in Table B with HCMC University of Physical Education & Sports and VNU’s University of Science. VLU had outstandingly won against the University of Science with a 2-0 victory and HCMC University of Physical Education & Sports with a 2-1 victory. With that results, VLU ranked first place in Table B. VLU then defeated VAA in the quarterfinal round with a definitive work of 2-0.

The male volleyball team had played beautifully and won the first bronze medal.

Unfortunately, in the semi-final, the opponent team was experienced and overwhelming. Thus we slipped away the victory with the result of 2-1. The third-place playoff was between VLU and TDTU. Since VLU had already defeated TDTU once in the quarterfinal last September, VLU had formidably won 2-1 and acquired the first bronze medal. We enthusiastically congratulated the male team for this tournament’s achievements.
