    The Philippines still has a shot at the podium as it faces winless Indonesia in the bronze-medal match Sunday at 4 p.m.

    After a lopsided opening set, a braver Filipinas put up a gallant stand and trailed just a hairline in the second set, 13-14, but the Vietnamese stamped its dominance once more with an 11-3 to cruise to a two-set-to-nothing lead.

    Tots Carlos recovered from her sluggish performance in the first two sets and scored seven points of the Philippines' 11 in the third salvo, 11-13, but Vietnam was much too good for the Filipinas who offensively and defensively as they pulled away, 13-21.

    Jema Galanza tried to keep the Philippines alive with back-to-back points, but Nguyen Thi Uyen and Doan Thi Lam Oahm put on the finishing touches to complete the sweep.
