MANILA, Philippines — As good of a player Army’s Jovelyn Gonzaga is, the 21-year-old spiker said her Shakey’s V-League Open Conference MVP award still came by surprise.

And Gonzaga nearly shed a tear as she received the highest individual plum Tuesday afternoon.

“I did not expect this. It’s so overwhelming,” Gonzaga said in Filipino, just moments after firing 15 points to lead Army past Air Force as the Lady Troopers moved a win away from taking third place.
