ICYMI: La Salle regains its feisty form to rally past Adamson in a five-set thriller and claim the twice-to-beat bonus in the Final Four. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – The La Salle Lady Spikers clinched the first twice-to-beat advantage in the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament after a comeback 25-17, 25-27, 23-25, 25-23, 15-9 victory against the Adamson Lady Falcons on Wednesday, April 19, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Thea Gagate’s towering presence was clearly felt as well after also tallying her UAAP-best 22 points, which stemmed from 19 attacks and 3 blocks. Jolina dela Cruz finished as the third 20+ point scorer for the Final Four-bound Lady Spikers, recording 21 points as the team improved their league-best record to 11-1.
With the Lady Spikers at set point, 24-21, Adamson attempted to steal the set and the game following a combination of attacks and errors, but Gagate made an emphatic rejection of Ckyle Tagsip’s attack. Trisha Tubu contributed 18 for a Lady Falcons side that saw their record drop to 8-4, good for fourth place.
In the nightcap, the La Salle Green Spikers made quick work of the slumping Adamson Soaring Falcons, 25-17, 25-14, 25-12, in men’s action.
