Lady Stags thwart Pirates, near NC volley sweep
MANILA, Philippines - San Sebastian moved one win away from sweeping its way to the finals as it repulsed Lyceum of the Philippines University, 25-21, 25-19, 25-17, yesterday in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament at the FilOil Flying V Center in San Juan.
Reigning back-to-back MVP Grethcel Sotlones and Joyce Sta. Rita unloaded 13 hits apiece to help propel the Lady Stags to their eighth straight victory and closer to booking an outright spot to the championship round for a huge thrice-to-beat advantage.
But out to foil San Sebastian’s rare feat is defending champion St. Benilde with the Lady Blazers raring to slug it out with the Lady Stags in a marquee matchup tomorrow.
The Lady Stags also swept last year’s elims only to lose to the Lady Blazers in the finals.
San Sebastian coach Roger Gorayeb, however, is focusing more on their St. Benilde game than anything else.
