V-League: Ateneo rallies to beat Adamson

Ateneo-Oracare came back from two sets down to beat Adamson, 18-25, 11-25, 26-24, 25-22, 15-11, in the Shakey’s V-League Season 6 second conference Friday night at The Arena in San Juan City.

Ateneo’s win against Adamson was its first after eight attempts in the V-League. The Lady Eagles last win against the Lady Falcons was in Game 2 of the best-of-three title series in the second conference of Season 5, which Adamson won.

‘Blocking lang talaga, nung makuha namin yung blocking namin at makontrol namin si Benting (Angela) dun kami nakaporma," said Lady Eagles coach Clint Malazo.

Nagiging psychological kasi na yung tuwing makakalaban namin ang Adamson nahihirapan kami. At least ngayon nanalo na kami, siyempre magkakaroon na ng kumpiyansa na kaya na namin silang talunin," added Malazo.

Ateneo closed out its elimination round campaign at 4-3 win-loss, which is the same mark of Adamson.

In the first game, Lyceum of the Philippines kept University of the Philippines winless, 25-13, 25-14, 24-26, 25-18.

It was UP’s seventh straight loss and 14th overall since last conference. – GMANews.TV
