Sting took care of business in their first round of pool play without dropping a set against MB U15 (25-21, 25-17), 360 Volleyball 15 Kao Black (25-18, 26-24), and Laguna 15 Mark (25-7, 25-19). Round 2 tested Sting, pushing them to 3 sets against NAVC 15-1 Cory (25-19, 19-25, 15-12) and No Fear Volleyball 15 (24-26, 25-21, 15-13). They were dominant over Actyve 15-Mizuno (25-14, 25-8). Going into the 3rd Round, Sting was 6-0 and not about to slow down.

A challenge match didn’t slow them down either. They were dominant against Guaynabo city Mets (25-14, 25-17) to earn their placement in the Gold Bracket. Sting had a solid win over Cajunland Ken (25-20, 25-17) in their first bracket match; but after going on an 11-match win streak, they lost in the quarterfinal match to Kokoro Volleyball 15-1 (20-25, 21-25).
