University of the Philippines overcame a hard-fought third-set loss and turned back a tough University of Santo Tomas, 25-22, 25-22, 29-31, 25-19, yesterday to remain undefeated at the helm in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.
The Lady Maroons wasted four matchpoint advantages in the third frame but returned with more composure in the fourth to pick up their fourth straight victory in as many outings.
Diana Carlos bannered UP’s offense with 16 kills for 18 points, but it was skipper Arielle Estranero’s 53 excellent sets that proved vital in the team’s campaign.
Isa Molde also shone for the Lady Maroons with 14 points, even as Nicole Tiamzon chipped in 13 points.
