-- Adamson waylaid University of the East in straight sets, 25-7, 25-16, 25-12, to grab solo second spot in the 72nd UAAP women’s volleyball tournament Sunday at The Arena in San Juan.
The win raised the Lady Falcons’ slate to 4-1, just a game behind defending champion La Salle which sports a spotless 5-0 mark entering the Christmas break.
Pau Soriano topscored with 15 points for the San Marcelino-based volleybelles, who also drew 14 points from team captain Angela Benting and 11 hits from Jill Gustilo.
“Maganda ang nilaro ng mga bata at nage-enjoy sa game, kahit nga yung mga second stingers excited nang makapasok kanina," said Adamson coach Dulce Pante.
Also chalking up a win was last year’s runner-up Far Eastern U, which posted a 25-17, 25-18, 22-25, 25-16 win over the National U Lady Bulldogs.
It was the Lady Tams' second straight win for 3-2 overall, giving them a share of third with idle University of Sto. Tomas and Ateneo.
Cherry Vivas punched in 21 points while skipper Mary Rose Cabanag and Monique Tiangco added 17 and 16, respectively, to offset the absence of top hitter Shaira Gonzales due to shin injury.
NU absorbed its fifth straight setback to remain in the cellar. Slightly above the Lady Bulldogs in the standings were the UE Lady Warriors and the University of the Philipines Lady Maroons with identical 1-4 win-loss cards.
