UST’s Hernandez is UAAP Player of the Week
UST’s Imee Hernandez imposed her will in the middle in a rock-solid performance to power her team against Ateneo de Manila University on Saturday, 16 April in the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament at the PhilSports Arena. Hernandez punished the Blue Eagles with quick attacks and provided solid defense for the Golden Tigresses with her blocking. When the dust settled, Hernandez notched a career-best 24 points on 19 attacks, three blocks, and two service aces as UST stopped Ateneo, 25-22, 25-20, 27-29, 25-21. Scoring efficiently on a 19-of-31 attack clip, Hernandez helped lead the Golden Tigresses to their third straight win as they rose to an 8-3 win-loss card, tied with Adamson and defending champ NU at No. 2. Hernandez and company likewise strengthened their chances of finishing in the top two of the standings, which merits a twice-to-beat incentive in the Final Four. With her strong outing, Hernandez earned the citation as the Collegiate Press Corps UAAP Player of the Week presented by San Miguel Corporation and Philippine Sports Commission with MNL Kingpin, Tinapayan Festival, and Jockey as minor sponsors. Hernandez bested other candidates like teammate Eya Laure, La Salle’s Angel Canino, Ateneo’s Faith Nisperos, and reigning MVP Bella Belen of NU for the citation handed out by print and online scribes covering the beat from 12-16 April. "'Yung mindset ko talagang gawin lang 'yung role ko, kung ano 'yung dapat kong gawin sa loob ng court and syempre ipakita 'yung maturity na dapat mayroon kaming mga seniors," said Hernandez. "Hindi titigil, hindi kami masa-satisfy sa ganito lang. Kailangan malampasan namin palagi. Sabi ni coach [Kungfu Reyes] kailangan everyday nalalampasan mo 'yung ginawa mo today." This marks the second week in a row that a Tigress won the weekly citation, as Laure earned the honor for the period of 29 March to 2 April, before the UAAP took a break for the Holy Week.

La Salle sweeps UP in rebound win
Semifinals-bound De La Salle University rediscovered its winning ways as it cruised past University of the Philippines, 25-15, 25-16, 25-16, in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament Sunday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. The Lady Spikers vented their ire on the Fighting Maroons to improve to a 10-1 win-loss record following a sorry four-set loss to University of Santo Tomas that snapped their nine-game win run before the Holy Week break and moved closer to clinching a Final Four twice-to-beat advantage. La Salle wasted no time in flexing its muscle over its hapless victim with rookie Angel Canino taking the lead on offense with 17 points she collected from 13 kills, two kill blocks and a pair of aces. “After our UST game, we just told them that at least they’ll get a chance to experience what it takes to bounce back. So after the Holy Week, we told them to forget about what happened and focus on how they will get back up after a loss,” Lady Spikers assistant coach Noel Orcullo said. “At least, they showed it (that they're capable of bouncing back).” Thea Gagate finished with 11 points while Shevana Laput did not disappoint in her first start of the season, chipping in nine points for La Salle. Fifi Sharma and veteran Jolina dela Cruz added six markers each. The Fighting Maroons absorbed their eighth straight loss for a 1-10 slate. Stephanie Bustrillo was the lone UP player in double figures with 10 points while Nina Ytang got nine. The post La Salle sweeps UP in rebound win appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
