Adamson regained its winning ways as it foiled St. Benilde, 25-23, 26-24, 25-16, to hike its record to 3-2 in the Shakey’s V-League Season 6 at The Arena in San Juan City yesterday.
Skipper Angela Benting took charge for the Lady Falcons with 16 kills and finished with 17 points while Pau Soriano backed her up with eight attacks and three blocks for a 13-point output.

St. Benilde, which lost the NCAA women’s volley crown to San Sebastian in sudden death last Sunday, dropped the first two sets in close fashions. But the rigors of playing a series of tough games finally took their toll on the Lady Blazers, who lost steam in the third set.
The Lady Falcons also pounced on their rivals’ sputtering start in the third frame as they raced to an 18-8 lead and never looked back to annex the victory, their third in five games in the tournament sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza and organized by Sports Vision.

“We are stilly trying to get our rhythm. Hopefully, when we return next month, we will be a lot better,” said Adamson coach Dulce Pante, whose Lady Falcons will be away for the next two weeks to compete in the Unigames in Iloilo City starting this weekend.

Giza Yumang paced St. Benilde with 10 hits while Zharmaine Velez and guest player Rosann Fajardo each had nine points for the Lady Blazers, who held their own in defense with seven blocks, including four from Velez.

In the featured game University of Santo Tomas overcame Ateneo-OraCare’s gritty stand and pulled off a tough 25-23, 27-25, 19-25, 25-20 victory  to barge into the quarterfinals.

Rookie Maru Banaticla stepped up for the Tigresses in the fourth set as they battled back from a 3-9 deficit to clinch the match, stretch their win run to five and clinch a spot in the next round of the tournament ahead of everybody else.

“We have to stay focused since all teams are capable of beating us,” said UST coach Cesael de los Santos, still far from being satisfied with his wards performance halfway through the single round elims of the tournament.

UST will try to toughen up for the quarters as it takes a break from the league to compete in the Unigames in Iloilo City starting this weekend along with Adamson.

Angeli Tabaquero at Banaticla came away with 15 hits each for UST, which also drew 14 and 13 hits from Aiza Maizo and Maika Ortiz.

Kara Acevedo scored 17 points while Fille Cainglet chipped in 14 hits for the Lady Eagles, who dropped to 1-1 after beating the UP Lady Maroons in the tournament .
