Arena, San Juan

 UAAP Ladies Volleyball

2nd Round

- Unbeaten -

DLSU Lady Archers Sweep UE Lady Warriors

25-22    25-28    25-18

- Looking Good -

The defending Champion Lady Archers never lost a single match last year,

en route to eventually winning the Championship -

and that is their simple game plan for this Season 74 too. 

Who will Rise up to Challenge the Lady Archers in the Finals ?

- Lady Eagles Bounce Back -

Beat Bulldogs in Four

25-7     25-20     17-25     25-19

The previous week's loss to the Lady Tigers
 is one game, I'm sure, the Lady Eagles would rather forget.

Alyssa Valdez managed, if i remember correctly, only 9 points, in that loss.

And this time, she is determined to send a strong message -

[is all business] and scores 30 big ones for Ateneo.

 

Veteran Maricar Nepomuceno takes it upon herself

to lead her lady Bulldog team mates.

Here, Maricar streches for a point.

 That's Andrea Marzan [#14] challenging the Lady Eagles' D.

 Ivy Jisel Perez [#2[ blocks Gretchen Ho.

NU's Carmina Aganon [#4] attacks.

NU manages to take Set #3.

But Ateneo  -  with Valdez' 30 points, and ample support from

 Dzi Gervacio,

 A Nacachi,

and of course,

Team Captain Fille St. Merced Cainglet

- prevails.

Team mates greet Libero Den Den Lazaro a Happy B'Day on court after the W.

Belated Greetings Denden!
