UAAP queen La Salle outlasts UST in a thrilling five-setter, while Adamson sweeps Perpetual Help as the two semifinal winners forge a Shakey’ Super League championship showdown.
MANILA, Philippines – Reigning UAAP La Salle flaunted its championship pedigree, holding off University of Santo Tomas with a 22-25, 25-18, 14-25, 26-24, 26-24 comeback win over University of Santo Tomas to advance in the 2023 Shakey’ Super League National Invitationals finals Friday, August 4, at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
A crosscourt kill by Alleiah Malaluan after a single block from Thea Gagate ended it for La Salle in the nip-and-tuck clincher that stretched all the way to a regular set from a supposedly race-to-15 duel. UST, behind Angeline Poyos and Regina Jurado, nearly returned the favor on UST by erasing a 2-6 deficit and forcing a deuce at 14-all that snowballed to a fire with fire battle the rest of the way.
