De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde veterans Gayle Pascual and Mich Gamit presided as they survived a scare from Lyceum of the Philippines University, 21-25, 25-21, 20-25, 25-21, 15-7, to book an outright finals ticket in the NCAA Season 99 women's volleyball tournament.
The graduating Pascual top-scored with 21 points on 17 attacks and four blocks while seasoned middle blocker Gamit poured in 14 markers as the Lady Blazers completed an elimination round sweep for the third straight season, 9-0. Down 1-2 for the first time this season, the defending two-time champions clawed their way back in the fourth with Pascual powering a 3-0 run to bring them to the set point, 24-20.
It was all Benilde in the fifth set as the wards of head coach Jerry Yee maximized an error-plagued Lyceum to secure a comfortable 13-6 cushion.
