SAN JUAN—Defending champions De La Salle snapped up National
University’s three-game winning run with a 29-17, 25-16, 25-21 win to get back on
the winning groove in the UAAP Season LXXIX women’s volleyball Sunday at the
FilOil-Flying V Centre.
Surviving a testy first set, the Archers regrouped in the next
two to win the one hour, 22 minute match, the Taft-based squad’s third win in
four matches,
It was also a perfect bounce-back game for coach Ramil De
Jesus’ squad after Wednesday’s shocking
loss to undefeated University of the Philippines.
Ernestine Tiamzon finished with a game-high 17 points, but
it was Fil-Nigerian Eduke Ogunsanya who stole the spotlight, coming away with a
career-best 11 markers, with five blocks.
Season 78 Finals MVP Kim Dy also
fashioned out 11 markers.
NU saw its three-game winning come to a screeching halt, no
thanks to DLSU’s 14 service errors.
Jaja Santiago struggled with a quiet 13-point game, getting
minimal support from her teammates. Aiko Urdas added eight points while Jorelle
was limited to just five markers.
