Defending champion Perpetual Help overpowered Jose Rizal, 25-19, 25-22, 25-18, to jump into a share of the lead with St. Benilde and bolster its bid of clinching the twice-to-beat edge in the Final Four in the 92nd NCAA men’s volleyball tournament at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan City.
Brothers Rey Taneo, Jr. and Relan teamed to deliver the decisive blows for the Lady Altas, who nailed their seventh win against a loss for a share of the top spot with the Blazers and move a win away from sealing the important twice-to-beat incentive in the next round.
They would have to accomplish it at the expense of Arellano U, currently at No. 4 with a 6-2 slate, in the final elims playdate.
