National University (NU(-Archipelago ended a five-game spell with a 25-21, 25-17, 23-25, 25-18 victory over Army to dash the Troopers’ slim hopes for the last semifinals berth in the Spikers’ Turf Open Conference at the Paco Arena Sunday.
The Builders bounced back from a third set loss with a strong start in the fourth set anchored on solid blocking.
“The boys are getting the experience and confidence,” NU head coach Dante Alinsunurin said. “We’re able to prove in this match that we can avoid those unforced errors.” The two teams slugged it out in the opening frame but the NU young guns found their rhythm midway through to take command with outside hitter Llanfred Abanilla nailing the set for the Builders with an off-the-block hit.
