Lady Falcons nab 3rd straight in UAAP women's volleyball

MANILA, Philippines – Adamson University (AdU) handily defeated University of the East (UE), 25-18, 25-14, 25-17, for its 3rd straight win after a season-opening loss in UAAP Season 74 women’s volleyball on Saturday at the Arena in San Juan.

Shiela Pineda scored 13 hits, including 3 service aces, while Angelica Quinlog added 11 points on blocks to go with her 7 digs for the Lady Falcons.

With the match virtually in the bag, Adamson’s long-time coach Dulce Pante rested her starters in favor of her second stringers, who kept the Lady Warriors at bay.

“The girls have put to good use our training program. Now, they have polished their timing, like playing the piano. If the blending is right, you get wonderful music,” said Pante.

Sheisa Nebrida had 8 hits and Jimberly Dawn Dizon scored 7 kills for the Lady Warriors, who dropped to their 3rd loss in 3 outings.

Meanwhile, reigning 5-time champion University of Santo Tomas (UST) relied on the 15 hits each from Jay Depante and Mark Gil Alfafara in beating Ateneo, 25-14, 25-20, 25-18, in the men’s category.

UST remained at 3rd place with a 3-1 card.

Sam Paquiz made 20 hits for University of the Philippines (UP) which beat UE, 25-23, 25-21, 24-26, 28-26, for the Maroons’ 2nd win in 4 matches on Saturday’s other men’s game.
