UST ousts DLSU, barges into UAAP women's volleyball finals Luisa Morales (Philstar.com) - May 5, 2019 - 6:50pm MANILA, Philippines – The UST Golden Tigresses continued their emphatic season, entering the finals of UAAP Season 81 women’s volleyball after besting La Salle in five sets, 25-19, 25-19, 20-25, 23-25, 15-10, at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday. UST thus snapped the Lady Spiker 10-year streak of finals appearances and booked their first finals berth since Season 73. MVP favorite Sisi Rondina once again led the way for UST while key contributions from KC Galdones and Eya Laure also had the DLSU defense guessing. The España-based squad sent DLSU crashing to its worst finish in a decade. UST survived a fierce comeback from the DLSU side, and big games from skipper Desiree Cheng, Julia Ipac and May Luna helped the Lady Spikers push UST to the brink. Cheng finished her career with the Lady Spikers at third … [Read more...] about UST ousts DLSU, barges into UAAP women’s volleyball finals

Dehado sa pagpasok ng ika-4 na kanto ng laban, nagpaulan nang sunod-sunod na atake si Alyssa Solomon ng NCR na kinakatawan ng National University girls volleyball team upang itayo ang 13-7 pag-abante. Nagpatuloy ang pananalasa ni Solomon nang umiskor na magkakasunod sa back row at tuluyang iwan ang naghahabol na Western Visayas.  Pagpasok ng ika-5 yugto ng laban, unti-unting lumayo ang NCR dahil sa sunod-sunod na error ng Region VI, kabilang ang 2 magkasunod na service error na nagbigay sa kalaban ng komportableng 12-6 kalamangan. “I think we need to have the knowledge ano ’yung nagyayari sa Palaro.

UAAP women's volleyball: UST picks up its biggest Season 81 win Rick Olivares (Philstar.com) - May 2, 2019 - 8:56am MANILA, Philippines — The return to prominence for the University of Santo Tomas Golden Tigresses continues with a four-set win over defending champion La Salle (25-14, 25-23, 23-25, 25-19) to take the twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four of the 81st UAAP women's volleyball competition. I don’t recall — at least not in the last 12 years, maybe even longer — La Salle needing to win twice to get to the finals. So this is massive. It proves that the first round win over DLSU is no fluke and that this team is a sleeping giant. Cherry Rondina is playing the best volleyball of her career. She has always tried to play a well-rounded game and she can make a case as being good on both ends of the floor. She has never been really a target because of her low center of gravity and ability to … [Read more...] about UAAP women’s volleyball: UST picks up its biggest Season 81 win
