The reigning champions, National University (NU), and last year's runner-up, De La Salle, will face off in Game 1 of the UAAP Women's Volleyball Season 85 highlights best-of-three championship series at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 7.
De La Salle University came out victorious in a grueling five-set battle against National University, taking Game 1 of the best-of-three finals, 18-25, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21, 15-13 on Sunday in front of a crowd of 10,995 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
The Lady Spikers now stand on the verge of the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball championship, with a chance to clinch their 12th title overall next Sunday at 2 p.m. at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, while the Lady Bulldogs aim to force a winner-take-all Game 3.
“Despite the struggle, we’re happy to win Game 1. I guess the team really wanted to win, especially after we were down two sets to one. We fought hard in the fourth set and carried that momentum to the fifth,” said De La Salle assistant coach Noel Orcullo.
“We told the players, if we could just win the fourth set, we can win the fifth. At least the players showed that they wanted to win,” continued Orcullo, who is the lead deputy of head coach Ramil de Jesus.
In the fifth set, after Alyssa Solomon’s off-the-block kill that pulled NU within one, 12-13, Sheena Toring tried to block Thea Gagate’s attempt but landed on the foot of the latter, causing her to injure her left knee. Toring was then replaced by Chams Maaya.
In the next play, Angel Canino executed a combination play on the Lady Spikers’ third attempt, before Mhicaela Belen kept the Lady Bulldogs alive with an off-the-block spike, 14-13.
NU then committed a costly error, as Joyme Cagande’s set for Maaya was too low, resulting in the latter’s attack not going over the net, allowing De La Salle to escape with the win.
Canino came alive late in the game to lead De La Salle with 21 points and 14 excellent receptions, while Gagate contributed 17 points, including four blocks, which was the highest among the team's 16 total rejections.
