Jose Rizal University leaned on a balanced attack as it repulsed back Emilio Aguinaldo College, 25-20, 25-20, 25-23, Wednesday, April 10 in claiming its first win in NCAA Season 99 women’s volleyball at the San Andres Gym.
Inday Laurente facilitated the attack of the Lady Bombers with 13 excellent sets, the biggest beneficiary of which was Karyla Jasareno, who uncorked 13 points as they snared their first win after falling to the University of Perpetual Help Altas, 25-14, 25-14, 25-21, Sunday.
Skipper Mary May Ruiz also delivered by chipping in nine hits.
“Nadistribute ni Inday ng mabuti yung bola,” said JRU coach Mia Tioseco. “Wala siyang specifically sinasabihan na pag set niya ng bola, ibato mo dito.”
“It’s more of basta kailangan ng points, kung sino nasa harap dun niya bibibigay yung bola,” she added.
Tioseco also said that the win helped her charges realize they are capable of achieving bigger things.
“I’m happy they get to feel and ma-realize nila yan ang game nila,” she said.
JRU is also trying to juggle rebuilding after it lost several key players from a season ago while trying to battle for a Final Four slot.
“We want to make the Final Four, but more importantly, I also want the younger ones to be able to fight during games, laban lang sila dapat,” said Tioseco.
The Lady Generals sputtered to 0-2.
