TWO years, two seasons, two league titles.
LOOK:
Bryan Bagunas' championship win streak with his Taiwanese club Win Streak extended to a second straight season after completing a two-game Top Volleyball League (TVL) title series sweep over Pingtung Taipower.
After 24 wins in 25 regular season matches, the 2022-23 TVL MVP fired a two-game finals average of 18 points built on 16.5 attacks, one block and 0.5 ace to cap back-to-back campaigns as the TVL's leading scorer with 436 total prelims points topped by 100 more markers across five playoff wins.

Bagunas penned his message of gratitude, including a touching tribute to his wife Nicole, as he closed another chapter of his now-multi-titled overseas stint with championship gold yet again.
"Another season, another championship! First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my wife for her unwavering support in every game. Your presence means everything to me, and I appreciate you always being by my side.
"To my boss, coaches, and teammates, thank you for your relentless dedication and sacrifices. Together, we’ve achieved success once again, and I appreciate all the support you’ve shown me. There are more championships ahead of us, and I’m excited to continue this journey together," said Bagunas.
Now a two-time champion, Bagunas affirmed his commitment to return to Win Streak for a third season while underscoring how he's 'looking forward to what the future holds.'
"To all of our fans, I can’t thank you enough for your unending support from start to finish. Your cheers and encouragement drive us forward, and I hope to see you continue to support us in the seasons to come," Bagunas said.
"Until then, let’s cherish this victory and look forward to what the future holds. See you next season!"
A return to Philippine volleyball remains on the cards for Bagunas as he's expected to join Cignal HD Spikers in the ongoing 2024 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference.
He is also in strong consideration for the Philippine men's national team pool to be unveiled in April in preparation for the country's hosting of the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship.
