UAAP75onTW: NU stuns UST in four sets

TomasinoWeb December 8, 2012 1

     AFTER a sweet victory from their game against the De La Salle University Lady Spikers last Sunday, the Tigresses have tasted their first defeat against the Lady Bulldogs. The Tigresses were owned 3-1 sets, 16-25, 23-25, 25-23, 13-25, at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

     The Lady Bulldogs cushioned themselves with two sets, forcing the Tigresses to win the next set in order to extend the game to a fifth and final set. But due to the adamant defense and relentless offense executed by the Lady Bulldogs, the Tigresses were pulverized in the fourth set with a lead that extended to as much as 13 points.

     UST’s lead scorer, Pamela Lastimosa, amassed a total of 12 points, while Judy Ann Caballejo was narrowed down to just 10 markers compared to the 24 points against DLSU.

     As much as the Tigresses tried, they just couldn’t stop the Lady Bulldogs’ attacks especially in the fourth set. With the combination of NU’s service aces and blocks, they were able to attain a 10-point lead, and from thereon, the lead was never surpassed by UST, which delivered as the finishing blow, 13-25 in the fourth set.

     Aleona ‘Dindin’ Santiago led the Lady Bulldogs to victory garnering 24 points, wherein 18 of them were attacking markers which often sent Tigress defense crumbling. Backing her up was Myla Pablo with 18 markers in which 17 of them are also attacking markers. The Golden Tigresses now have the same record with NU, 1-1, after dropping its first game with Adamson last Sunday.

     UST Tigresses will face off with the ADMU Lady Eagles this Sunday at the FilOil Flying V Arena.

    AFTER a sweet victory from their opening game against the defending
    back-to-back champion De La Salle University last Sunday, University of Santo
    Tomas tasted its first defeat against the Lady Bulldogs in four sets, 16-25,
    23-25, 25-23, 13-25, at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

    (Elaborate what
    happened) The Lady Bulldogs cushioned themselves with
    two sets, forcing the Tigresses to win the next set in order to extend the game
    to a fifth and final set. (it never happened, wag mo na sabihin to) But due to the adamant defense and relentless offense
    executed by the Lady Bulldogs, the Tigresses were pulverized in the fourth set
    with a lead that extended to as much as 13 points. (what score?)

    Sophomore Pamela Lastimosa amassed 12 points, while skipper
    Judy Ann Caballejo was limited to only 10 markers after a dominating 24-point
    output against DLSU.

    ( again… elaborate,
    as a writer kailangan mo ikwento yung important details, don’t leave them
    asking your article what happened) As much as the Tigresses tried, they
    just couldn’t stop the Lady Bulldogs’ attacks especially in the fourth set.
    With the combination of NU’s service aces and blocks (ilan?), they were able to attain a 10-point lead (what score?), and from thereon, the
    lead was never surpassed by UST, which delivered as the finishing blow, 13-25
    in the fourth set. (Who did the damage?)

    Former Tigress Aleona
    ‘Dindin’ Santiago, who played for UST three years ago, led the Lady Bulldogs to victory (alam na ng readers mo na panalo sila) collecting 24
    points, with 18 coming from attacks (san
    na yung remaining six points?), while Myla Pablo added 18 markers to tied
    the Tigresses with 1-1 win-loss record apiece.

    UST Tigresses (much better kung ‘the España-based squad or belles para hindi paulit-ulit)
    will face the season 75 runner-up Ateneo De Manila University this Sunday at
    the same venue.

    (i advise mag running score ka so mareview mo yung flow nung game) don’t feel bad im here to help :)
