Three-time champion La Salle zeroed in on the first semifinal berth as it thwarted Ateneo’s tough stand in the third and fourth sets to fashion out a 25-21, 25-15, 21-25, 26-24 victory yesterday for its fourth straight win in the Shakey’s V-League second conference at The Arena in San Juan City.

Jacqueline Alarca’s block off Ateneo rookie Angeline Gervacio to clinch the victory for the Lady Archers, who held off their rivals in the first two sets, stumbled in the third but scrambled in the fourth frame to clinch their fourth win and keep their unblemished slate.  

“They seemed to relax in the third and fourth sets. Our reception loosened up a bit that’s why our offense suffered,” said La Salle assistant coach Noel Orcullo, who took over from head coach Ramil de Jesus. “It’s a good thing that Jacq (Alarca) stepped up.”

Earlier, San Sebastian College picked up its second win in row after an opening game setback, beating Lyceum, 25-18, 25-19, 25-20, to stay behind unbeaten La Salle in the early going of the league sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza and organized by Sports Vision.

Alarca’s final block was her fifth in the day as she finished with 20 hits while Manilla Santos added 14 points and the duo of Stephanie Mercado and Celine Hernandez tossed in 10 hits apiece for the Lady Archers, who skipped the first conference with the UST Tigresses to rebuild the team following the graduation of key players.

Charo Soriano, Ateneo’s guest alumna, combined with guest player Michelle Laborte and rookie Fille Cainglet and Gervacio in the third frame as the Lady Eagles foiled La Salle’s sweep bid. But the Taft-based spikers regrouped in the fourth, racing to a 19-10 advantage on Alarca’s service ace.

The Eagles, however, pounced on their rivals’ poor reception and took 14 of the next 19 points to force a tie at 24 on Laborte’s block and a wide hit by the Archers.

By | October 26, 2008 | 11:55 pm |

Throughout its 34 years of existence, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has showcased the best of Philippine basketball to the delight of millions of Filipinos nationwide. To any player who aspires for a career in basketball, getting on the lineup of a PBA team represents the end-all of his ambitions.

De La Salle University has produced quite a number of notable PBA players such as Lim Eng  Beng, Franz and Dindo Pumaren, Jun Limpot, Noli Locsin, Dwight and Elmer Lago to name a few. Most of these former Green Archers have made significant contributions in helping their teams attain success in the country’s premier basketball league. This is a testament to the strength of the DLSU basketball program over the years, which has recruited and developed players who had the talent and determination to make it in the big league that is the PBA.

As the new PBA season opened recently, we feature the former Green Archers currently in the active roster.

Shakey’s V-League: Lady Archers halt Stags for solo lead

By | October 25, 2008 | 9:49 am |

From: PHILSTAR.COM

Stephanie Mercado unloaded a career-high 19 hits as La Salle rallied from a set down to sweep the next three for an 18-25, 25-23, 25-18, 25-16 victory over San Sebastian College to seize the solo lead with two wins in the Shakey’s V-League second conference at The Arena in San Juan last night.

The Lady Archers, coming off a win over Far Eastern U in their return to the league, struggled in the early going as the Lady Stags stamped their class with their quickness and power to take the opener. But the three-time champions made key adjustments in the second set to draw level before sustaining their form to prevail.

“The girls struggled in the first set because the Lady Stags were quick in their plays but we were able to adjust from the second set, especially in blocking,” said La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus.

Jacqueline Alarca added 11 hits, including two blocks, while reserve Charleen Cruz made 10 hits for La Salle, which put to naught two-time NCAA MVP Lou Ann Latigay’s 18 hits.

Earlier, Ateneo, drawing firepower from its guest players and rookies, subdued Lyceum, 25-14, 25-21, 12-15, 25-21 to join UST at second with one win apiece.

Michelle Laborte and alumna Ma. Rosario Soriano combined for 29 hits, including 25 kills that pierced through Lyceum’s defense while third year player Misha Quimpo tossed in 12 for the Lady Eagles, out to redeem themselves after a failed title bid against the Adamson Lady Falcons in the first conference of the league sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza.

“Charo (Soriano) still got the killer’s instinct but she’s far from her top form while Micmic (Laborte) played well, especially in blocking,” said Ateneo coach Clint Malazo.

The Loyola-based squad also drew solid games from newcomers Fille Cainglet, Angeline Gervacio at Jem Ferrer, who scored 16 hits among themselves, including 10 from Cainglet, to underscore the team’s balanced scoring.

“The veterans and the rookies played with cohesion. They struggled in the third but they were able to put their act together in the fourth,” said Malazo.

For updates and results, visit the tournament website at www.v-league.ph. The league, organized by Sports Vision, is backed by Active White skin whitening products, Mikasa and Accel.

Meanwhile, the Ateneo-Lyceum game will be telecast on NBN-4 starting at 2 p.m. today with replays to be shown on both Viva Prime Channel on Destiny Cable and Makisig Channel on Sky Cable.

Cainglet, Gervacio, Laborte and Soriano, now a marketing manager of a top cosmestic surgery clinic, led Ateneo’s attack in the first two sets. But the Lady Pirates fought back in the third behind alumna Dahlia Cruz, who knocked in the bulk of his 16 kills in the that stretch to extend the match.

The Muralla-based tossers kept the game close in the fourth, 15-18, but made a rotation error before Soriano and Laborte took over again with their powerful spikes.

Shakey’s V-League: Lady Archers make smashing return

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

La Salle bucked a strong challenge from Far Eastern U and leaned on guest player Chie Saet’s set plays in the last two frames to complete a 25-15, 18-25, 25-23, 25-18 victory on its return to the Shakey’s V-League second conference at The Arena in San Juan yesterday.

Celine Hernandez and Manilla Santos combined for 27 hits while Jacqueline Alarca and Stephanie Mercado had 10 points each for the Lady Archers, who had a fine start but sputtered in the next two before reasserting their might in the fourth to prevail in 1:32.

The Taft-based squad also lorded it over on the net in defense as it came away with 15 blocks against the five of FEU, which however held its own in attacks, 35-36.

“Our blocking is okay but we need to improve our set plays,” said La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus after the match.

The Lady Archers came out smoking but lost their rhythm in the second set as Kaye Martinez struggled in setting up their plays.

De Jesus fielded in Saet midway in the third as the Lady Archers bounced back from a second set loss to regain control with Santos scoring on a kill off a Saet set play.

FEU, which upended first conference champion Adamson in five sets last Saturday, refused to give up and took a 13-10 lead in the fourth but the Lady Archers countered with a 9-1 attack anchored on Michelle Datuin’s back-to-back kills en route to the victory.

Rachel Daquis scored 19 hits while Shaira Gonzalez tossed in 10 points for FEU, which fell to 1-1 in the single round-robin elims among eight teams in the tournament sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza and organized by Sports Vision.

Adamson vented its ire on St. Benilde as it posted a 25-21, 25-13, 25-22 win in the other game.

Rissa Laguilles scattered 17 hits, including 15 kills, while Angela Benting rammed in 12 attacks for a 14-point output for the Lady Falcons, who joined the Tams at 1-1 while dealing the Lady Blazers their second straight loss.
