Lady Spikers go for twice-to-beat
League-leading De La Salle University sets its sights on securing a Final Four twice-to-beat advantage in a clash with Adamson University in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena. Ahead of the pack sporting a 10-1 win-loss record, the Lady Spikers only need to hurdle the Lady Falcons in their 2 p.m. encounter to assure themselves of a Top 2 finish with just two weeks left before the elimination round closes. On the other hand, Adamson, which shares the second to fourth spot in the standings with an 8-3 card tied with idle University of Santo Tomas and defending champion National University, shoots for a semis berth. La Salle bounced back mightily from a sorry four-set setback at the hands of UST before the Holy Week break with a convincing, 25-15, 25-16, 25-16, win over University of the Philippines last Sunday. Rookie Angel Canino is expected to show the same aggressiveness she displayed in the Lady Spikers’ first round win over the Adamson, 22-25, 25-14, 25-16, 25-19, last 19 March when she dropped 21 points. Aside from Canino and usual scorers Thea Gagate, Fifi Sharma and Jolina dela Cruz, La Salle has also a new weapon in rookie opposite spiker Shevana Laput. The 6-foot-1 winger made an immediate impact in her first start last game as she poured in nine points. But despite their height and depth advantage and with the semis bonus within reach, Lady Spikers assistant coach Noel Orcullo doesn’t want his players to look too far ahead. “We need to continue the right things we are doing. Just take it one game at a time. Our mindset right now is to finish the second round the right way,” he said. The Lady Falcons are fresh from a 25-16, 25-19, 20-25, 27-25, victory over University of the East last Saturday. Adamson will rely on Kate Santiago, Trisha Tubu, Lorene Toring and setter Louie Romero to get back at La Salle. Meanwhile, Far Eastern University tries to salvage its semis bid in a must-win game against Ateneo de Manila University at 12 p.m. Holding a 5-6 card, the Lady Tamaraws need to sweep all of their remaining three games wish that one from the Lady Falcons, Tigresses and Lady Bulldogs won’t reach nine wins to force a playoff for the last Final Four seat. FEU beat Ateneo in five sets in the first round. Both teams are coming off setbacks with the Lady Tamaraws bowing down to the Lady Bulldogs in straight sets while the Blue Eagles missed the semis for the first time in 14 years after losing to the Tigresses in four frames. A win by Ateneo (4-7) will put the semis race to a close. In men’s play, Ateneo (5-6) and FEU (6-5) at 10 a.m. while La Salle (6-5) and Adamson (1-10) meet at 4 p.m. The post Lady Spikers go for twice-to-beat appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Coach tells Bulldogs to stay focused
National University head coach Dante Alinsurin is keeping his players’ emotions in check with the unbeaten three-peat-seeking squad just three wins from completing an elimination round sweep of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 85 men’s volleyball tournament. The Bulldogs bunched up 11 wins in a row in as many games to punch a ticket to their eighth straight Final Four appearance armed with a twice-to-beat advantage in the division’s first staging following a three-year pandemic-forced hiatus. NU, undefeated in 29 consecutive games since 2019, can advance to the best-of-three Finals outright and force a step-ladder semifinals if it hurdles its last three assignments against University of the East, Final Four-bound University of Santo Tomas and Ateneo de Manila University. But despite his team’s hot streak, Alinsunurin does not want his players to be distracted with the prospect of an elims sweep. He wants the Bulldogs to just zone in on the task in front of them and not look too far ahead. “I always remind them to just do what they need to do inside the court. The twice-to-beat, the sweep, honestly, we only talked about it once,” Alinsurin said. “We make it a point that we put our focus on what we talked about on training,” he added. The four-time champion mentor also lauds his team for fully understanding what he wants to impart and for keeping the fire burning despite piling up victories. “I never put pressure on them that we need to reach this or we have to do that. Maybe that’s the reason why the team remains focused everyday in training and in games,” the former men’s national team mentor that steered the country to a silver medal finish in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games held in Manila. NU beat Far Eastern University, 28-26, 25-21, 26-28, 25-23, last Sunday behind Buds Buddun, Nico Almendras, Kennry Malinis and Obed Mukaba. The Bulldogs will face the Red Warriors on Saturday before taking on the Tigers on 26 April and the Blue Eagles on 29 April to wrap up their elims campaign. “We have to keep on working and try to improve every training,” Alinsunurin. “See what we need to address like our unforced errors and see to it that we’ll be able to limit our miscues in our next games.” The post Coach tells Bulldogs to stay focused appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
