Lyann De Guzman displayed her scoring prowess with a game-high 20 points but Geezel Tsunashima played the hero’s role in the closing stretch of the fourth set after scoring the Blue Eagles’ last two points to bag the victory.
Ateneo de Manila University sealed a dominating classification round campaign with a 26-24, 25-16, 21-25, 25-23 win over College of Saint Benilde for a fifth place finish in the 2024 Shakey’s Super League Collegiate Pre-season Championship Saturday night, Nov. 16, at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
De Guzman, who scored seven in the fourth frame, smashed 19 attack points and an ace while middle blocker AC Miner added 13 markers for Ateneo, which outgunned the reigning NCAA champions Lady Blazers in spikes, 64-48.“Sabi ko sa kanila ‘wag masyadong relax kasi nakikita ko na hindi ito ‘yung laro namin kapag nagti-training kami. Sabi ko lang ilaban lang nila, nandito kami magtutulungan para sa isa’t isa,” De Guzman said.
Catarig waxed-hot in the third frame scoring six points with Mycah Gon and Borromeo throwing in plenty of help to avoid getting swept by Ateneo.
