SSC wins from two sets down
MANILA, Philippines — San Sebastian College continued to build a reputation as the league’s never-say-die team as it repulsed University of Perpetual Help, 24-26, 26-28, 25-20, 25-20, 17-15, yesterday to grab a piece of second spot in the NCAA women’s volleyball at the Paco Arena.
MVP leader Reyann Canete fired a career-high 25 points while super rookie Katherine Santos scattered 18 hits as the Lady Stags battled back from two sets down and two match-points to scrape out their fourth win in five outings, which was good for No. 2 with the Arellano U Lady Chiefs.
It was the second come-from-behind, five-set triumph by SSC after surviving Jose Rizal U, 24-26, 19-25, 32-30, 25-5, 15-11, Wednesday.
It was also the Lady Stags’ third five-set game of the season after dropping a 15-25, 25-23, 25-18, 19-25, 15-12 decision to Mapua last March 15.
“I just told them the fifth set isn’t for the weak-hearted. I’m happy they responded,” said SSC coach Roger Gorayeb.
In the other game, San Beda trounced Emilio Aguinaldo College, 17-25, 27-25, 25-23, 25-23, to claim its first win in five starts. EAC remained winless in five games.
