Ah yes, pure intensity written all over Abigail Maraño’s face in this defensive sequence with Kaye Martinez. Abigail currently is among the top ten in blocks this season and it is not a surprise that  she is already part of the regular rotation in just her rookie year.

The winning comment/imaginary conversation will win an 8×10 hard copy photo of our Women’s Volleyball team.

By the way, Abigail and Kaye  seem to have both their hands on the ball. Who gets the stat?

The Lady Spikers nailed its tenth win in as many games as they trounced FEU 25-16, 25-23, 25-14 today. Except perhaps for the 2nd set in which they committed 17 unforced errors, the Lady Spikers hardly felt any resistance from the Lady Tams all throughout the match. The second stringers got the job done in finishing them off in the 3rd set.

Stephanie Mercado was adjudged best player of the game with 13 points.

Sadly, this year’s Lady Tams are now just a shadow of their once formidable squads in seasons past.

Lady Spikers Melissa Gohing and Joanne Siy whoop it up in this cuddly moment. Ano kaya sinasabi nila?

The Lady Spikers swept FEU today 25-23, 25-18, and 25-17.

Net play was excellent, resulting in multiple blocks of the FEU spikers. The strong net defense forced the FEU players to noticeably alter their shots, hitting upward or out of bounds in order to avoid the anticipated blocks. Garbin replaced Martinez as setter midway in the third set, and ably orchestrated the Lady Spikers’ offensive thrusts. Stephanie Mercado’s shotmaking was excellent as usual, mixing up her power shots with accurate placements to find the holes in the FEU backline. The Lady Spikers were also a bit stingier with their service miscues than in previous games. Vivas was so intimidated by the net play that she was generally tentative in the final 2 sets and committed several uncharacteristic unforced errors.

With this victory, the Lady Spikers sweep the first round, 7-0.
