Lady Knights beat Lady Stags in straight sets, lead NCAA volleyball – BusinessWorld Online
FOR Colegio de San Juan de Letran to legitimately challenge for the NCAA Season 100 women’s volleyball title, it would need to play with nerves of steel on a consistent basis.
The Letran Lady Knights showed some flashes of it against the San Sebastian College-Recoletos Lady Stags on Tuesday, but it was enough to pull off a 25-21, 25-22, 25-23 victory that kept the former unflappable at the helm at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
Vanessa Sarie, a rookie prize find from Bicol, was at the heart of it all as she came through with a match-best 17 points as the Letran Lady Knights snared their sixth win in a row and 12th overall against two defeats.
It was also a triumph that kept Letran at No. 1 and on course of making a return trip to the Final Four where they hope to continue to advance to the finals where they get a shot at a first women’s crown since winning it all 27 years ago.
After seizing the second frame to go 2-0 set up, the Letran Lady Knights took a 19-12 edge and looked headed to cruising to another win. — Joey Villar
