College of St. Benilde stretched its unbeaten streak to three games with a 25-20, 25-18, 25-15 win over Letran in the NCAA Season 95 volleyball tournament Monday at The Arena in San Juan.
It was balanced scoring for the Lady Blazers as all 11 players fielded in by coach Jerry Yee contributed with Chelsea Umali leading the assault with seven points.
Klarisa Abriam, Michelle Gamit and substitute Jade Gentapa each had six points while Gayle Pascual and Mycah Go came off the bench to add five points apiece for the Lady Blazers who grabbed the solo lead.
Defending champion three-time champion Arellano University is the only other unbeaten team with a 2-0 mark.
The Lady Knights kept the match close in the opening frame before the Lady Blazers pulled away with Diane Ventura capping her four-point outing in the set with a kill.
CSB’s win was a fitting follow-up to earlier wins over University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (25-17, 14-25, 25-17, 25-20) and Lyceum (23-25, 25-23, 23-25, 25-18, 15-7).
“Ang napag-usapan lang naman namin is relax lang sila, ilaro lang nila kung ano yung laro nila. After namin mag-five sets sa first game and four sets sa second game, eto madyo nawala yung pressure sa players namin,” said CSB assistant coach Jay Chua.
Letran dropped to 1-1 in a tie with University of Perpetual Help System Dalta and Jose Rizal University.
Chamberlaine Cuñada finished with 15 hits for the Lady Knights.
Meanwhile, Ruvince Abrot had two service aces to finish with 15 points as St. Benilde downed Letran, 25-21, 25-16, 25-22, to raise its record to 2-1 in the men’s division.
Arieh Barba scored 10 points as Letran earned its first juniors win with a 25-12, 25-11, 25-8 rout of CSB-LSGH.
