Games on Friday
(San Andres Gym)
9 a.m. – SSC-R vs LPU (Men/Women)
2 p.m. – JRU vs San Beda (Women/Men)
UNIVERSITY of Perpetual Help System Dalta (UPHSD) kept showing strong form as it repulsed Mapúa University, 25-20, 25-21, 25-11, on Wednesday to remain untouchable at the helm in NCAA Season 101 women’s volleyball at the San Andres Gym.
Cyrille Joie Almeniana served as the battering ram and unloaded a match high 18 points including 16 on spikes as the Lady Altas claimed their fourth win in row to remain in pole position in Pool A.
One of those wins came at the expense of reigning four-peat titlist College of St. Benilde in an epic 25-21, 18-25, 25-23, 17-25, 16-14 win last Jan. 25.
And it looked like there’s no stopping the UPHSD freight train as it starts to test Pool B where it will battle Emilio Aguinaldo College (0-3) on Saturday at the same Manila venue.
There, the Sandy Rieta-mentored Las Piñas-based spikers tackle the Colegio de San Juan de Letran Lady Knights, who like them are immaculate in four starts, the San Beda University Red Spikers (3-1), Arellano University Lady Chiefs (1-2), and Lyceum of the Philippine University Lady Pirates (1-3). — Joey Villar
