67th All-Japan InterCollegiate Championship 2020 (Nov 30–Dec 6)

  • Some initial disappointment when some freshman MB started in place of my favorite MB, but it turned out the freshman was quite good. Best Spiker for sure, probably Best Scorer and MVP of the match. That's what Manami Mandai does for her middle blockers :rose:

    This tournament will likely end the way it was seeded:

    4. Juntendo

    Tsukuba

    3 : 2

    Juntendo


    At least they made the podium


  • 2020.12.06 FINAL

    Tokai

    1 : 3

    NIFS


    At least the team that knocked out my Tsukuba went all the way. This is their third win in the last decade. They last won in 2013/14 and 2016/17.


    The buzz on it is that NIFS did it with juniors. Their Captain, #1 Ayaka Kanemoto, pulled her leg in the third set and couldn't finish the match.



    :!: Congratulations Girls :!:
