ICYMI: Mighty La Salle leans on super rookie Angel Canino and libero Justine Jazareno to eliminate Eya Laure-led UST and clinch its 20th UAAP women's volleyball finals appearance. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – For the 20th time in UAAP history, the La Salle Lady Spikers are marching on to the women’s volleyball finals after eliminating the UST Golden Tigresses, 26-24, 25-22, 20-25, 25-19, at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, May 3.
Jolina dela Cruz also added 10 points and 6 excellent receptions, while Leiah Malaluan and Thea Gagate scored 9 each. This was all the breathing room the longtime contenders needed as they peaked with a 22-14 gap off an Eya Laure service error, before Gagate arrested a small UST fightback with a game-winning block point to seal the deal.
After an airtight opening set and a back-and-forth second frame, La Salle created a small breathing window after a 3-0 run for a 23-19 lead, capped by a Jolina dela Cruz ace and sparked by an all-out defensive effort by Jazareno.
