ATENEO went thru the wringer before edging out Far Eastern University, 25-18, 26-24, 23-25, 18-25, 15-12, and clinch the semifinals bonus last night in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Fille Cainglet uncorked 23 hits, while Alyssa Valdez chipped in 18 points as the Lady Eagles booked their 10th win in 12 games.
The Lady Tamaraws, led by Rosemarie Vargas with 25 points, slipped to fifth spot with a 7-6 card, and now must beat University of the East on Saturday to forge a playoff for the last semis berth.
Earlier, University of Santo Tomas turned back also-ran National University, 25-19, 25-15, 25-15, to join Adamson in third place with an 8-5 record.
The Tigresses will take on the Lady Falcons on Wednesday, with the winner clinching the third semifinals berth.
“We need to win one more para at least No. 3 kami sa semifinals. Yun na lang ang next best thing since wala na yung chance na makuha namin yung No. 2 seed,” said UST coach Odjie Mamon.
Dzi Gervacio contributed 16 hits for Ateneo, which drew a career-high 16 points from sophomore Ella de Jesus.
The Lady Tamaraws last threatened at 12-13 with Vargas scoring a kill, before Cainglet countered back with a kill for the Lady Eagles to move closer to match point.
Ateneo then took the win after Vargas’ hit went outside.
