UAAP: Lady Spikers topple UST in straight sets

The DLSU Lady Spikers notched their tenth win of the season at the expense of the UST Tigresses, 25-21, 25-9, 25-18, earlier today at The Fil-Oil Arena in San Juan City. Ara Galang led the squad once again as she finished with 17 points in the victory.

The opening set started as a close battle between the two teams, with UST providing an answer to La Salle’s mini-runs. The Lady Spikers were able to capitalize on their attacks early on, as they took the lead, 8-6, courtesy of Galang’s back-to-back service aces. UST rallied back in the next plays, however, tying the set at 14-all with the efforts of Tigresses Ria Meneses and Pamela Lastimosa. La Salle immediately forced two consecutive points to slowly pull away at 16-14, midway in the set.

The Lady Spikers did not look back since then as they controlled the next offensive opportunities to halt UST, 25-21.

The second set was a different story altogether, as the Lady Spikers hindered UST from taking opportunities to score. With La Salle’s advantage immediately ballooning to 11 points at 19-8, UST struggled to keep themselves at bay. The Lady Spikers then established a 6-1 run to finish the set to their favor, 25-9.

The Lady Spikers exhibited composure in the third set, preventing UST from extending the match. With La Salle dictating the rhythm of the set early on, the Tigresses were unable to close the deficit despite trailing by just four points, 16-12, in the middle of the set. DLSU eventually took the set and the match, against a struggling UST offense. 25-18.

Next up for the Lady Spikers are the winless UE Lady Warriors, whom they will face on Wednesday, February 11 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
