V-League: SWU, USLS spikers end campaign on winning note
Already ousted for the race for the semifinal round, Visayan teams Southwestern University and University of St. La Salle-Bacolod scored similar hard-earned wins at the close of the quarterfinal round of the Shakeyâs V-League at The Arena in San Juan. SWU clobbered embattled College of St. Benilde, 25-19, 25-23, 25-12. Piyatada Lasungnern, the Lady Cobras Thai import, scored 19 hits, while guest player Erika Verano chipped in 10 markers for SWUâs first victory against two setbacks in the quarterfinal round.
Games May 13 (The Arena, San Juan) 2 p.m. â Adamson vs SSC-R 4 p.m. â Ateneo vs UST
Defending champion University of Santo Tomas and Ateneo, which have identical 2-0 cards, dispute the top seeding in Group II next week. âI told them that we have nothing to lose and we have everything to gain in this game. They played relaxed and pressure- free," said USLS coach Roger Banzuela. "It's a good win because we can come home to Bacolod with our heads high as we finished with a victory. Hopefully, we can accomplish more the next time we join and find a suitable setter to have a better chance," added Banzuela. - RCJ, GMANews.TV More Videos
