News & Updates
- UHD Men’s Volleyball Club played their first tournament on February 24, 2024, since
inception. Everyone was both excited and nervous in the beginning but slowly played
into form as the tournament progressed. Expectations weren’t high since they had only
recently learned a new system for both offense and defense and the team’s starting
setter, Alex Bonilla, wasn’t available. Fortunately John Nguyen stepped up into the
setting role, however this necessary adjustment dealt a massive blow to the team production
on the outside hitter position. Team Captain, Luis Moreno, did all he could taking
huge swings at the other Outside Hitter position. This tournament served as a good
benchmark and gave us valuable lessons as to what areas we needed to focus on during
training.
- UHD Men’s Volleyball Club players were eager to get back to training after their first
tournament experience. After just a couple of weeks of training, they entered their
second tournament on March 9, 2024, and put to test what they’ve worked on. Armed
with confidence and more refined skills, they came away winning more games against
higher level teams and ultimately winning the Silver Division.
- History has been made as UHD Men’s Volleyball Club Team hosted University of Houston for its first ever collegiate match on April 14, 2024. They came out firing in all cylinders wining the first game. Sadly, we made too many unforced errors due to UH good defense skills and we just needed to be more stable. The team was still ecstatic vowed to continue to work hard and hone their skills on the court both physically and mentally.
- UHD Men’s Volleyball Club showed up in full force to the UHD One Main Event Banquet
where John Nguyen received his Most Valuable Player Award. The rest of players also
received certificates from the coaching staff. We had a blast and also bonded with
the UHD Women’s Volleyball Club players
