Lady Falcons sweep Stags, cop V-League crown
Lady Falcons sweep Stags, cop V-League crown
Adamson outfoxed San Sebastian-Excelroof in a tense-filled first-set duel then imposed its will on both ends in the next two to complete a 26-24, 25-17, 25-16 sweep and clinch the Shakey’s V-League Season 7 second conference crown before a big crowd at The Arena in San Juan.
Former MVP Nerissa Bautista delivered 14 kills and wound up with 17 points while Angela Benting rebounded from a mediocre stint in Game Two to fire 13 points, matching Pau Soriano’s output, and Michelle Laborte backed them up with 10 hits as the Lady Falcons turned what had appeared to be another cliffhanger to a three-set romp.
Bautista went on to win the series MVP honors. Adamson, which took the opener in five sets but lost the second in four, thusclinched the best-of-three series, 2-1, for its second championship in the league sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza.
It was a remarkable season for the San Marcelino-based squad, which finished fifth in the first conference but worked its way to the top through hardwork, determination and defense.
“Discipline was the key to this win,” said Adamson coach Dulce Pante, who also steered the team to victory in the 2008 first conference.
“But this win was sweeter since it went to three games. It was tough but we did it through my players’ determination,” said Pante in Filipino. Adamson became just the third team after UST(six) and La Salle (three) with two or more titles in the country’s premier women’s volley league organized by Sports Vision.
The Lady Falcons outhit the league’s top attacking squad, 48-33, and outblocked their rivals, 9-2, en route to victory that capped a sterling campaign in the season-ending conference highlighted by a sweep of the quarterfinal round.
The Lady Stags last took the lead at 24-23 in the opening frame but Bautista came through with back-to-back kills then reserve Sheila Pineda scored on an ace to snatch the win. Adamson sustained its form in the second, pouncing on the Stags’ errors to build leads of as many as nine, 16-7, to go 2-up then Bautista, Laborte, Benting and Soriano combined again in the third to complete the sweep.
It was the second straight runner-up finish and sixth overall for the Lady Stags, who also lost the first conference crown to UST, also in sudden death. It
was also the sixth time that Thai import Jeng Bualee failed to win a crown in the league backed by Accel, Mikasa and Excelroof. Bualee finished with 17 points but no local Stag scored in double-digits as they struggled in the face of the Lady Falcons no-nonsense defense. Elaine Cruz had eight hits and Joy Benito was held to just five points.

Falcons clip Archers, get no. 3 seed.
Falcons clip Archers, get no. 3 seed.
Manila, Philippines – Not just contented of entering the Final Four, the Adamson Falcons overcame an early 12-point hole to hack out a 69-64 victory on Thursday and seized the no.3 seed in the UAAP Season 73 men’s basketball at the Araneta Coliseum.
Austin Manyara saved his best game of the season in this all important game that may determine both team’s chances of landing in the Finals.
Manyara, a 6-foot-5 mobile big man from Kenya, threw his weight underneath the boards as he hauled down career-bests 17 boards, 11 points and blocked two shots in leading the Falcons to the come-from-behind victory.
The Archers, actually, started like a house on fire zooming to an early 14-2 lead. But a series of adjustments brought Leo Austria’s Falcons back into the game and had them taking the lead, 33-30, on Roider Cabrera’s three-pointer, one of Adamson’s season-high 11 rainbow connections, towards the end of the second canto.
“Alam ko na malakas ang La Salle sa first quarter dahil sa energy nila pero I told the boys to just relax and stick to our game plan. When I saw that they put in their second stringers, that’s the time I played with my first stringers and we were able to get back,” Austria said.
The Falcons, behind starters Jerick Canada and Alex Nuyles and seldom-used Allen Etrone, built their biggest lead in the third period, 57-43. The trio combined for 16 of the team’s 24 points in that stretch while Adamson’s smothering defense held down La Salle to just 13.
The Archers, however, refused to give up and they staged one last run in the fourth period as they came within three, 59-62, on rookie Luigi dela Paz’s three-pointer.
It was at this juncture when Manyara re-asserted his might. The Kenyan import battled for the rebound in the ensuing play like a tireless work horse and on his third tip, the basket went in that extended Adamson’s lead to five, 64-59, with 2:19 left.
La Salle’s Jovet Mendoza converted an alley-oop pass from rookie Almond Vosotros in the next play to slice the lead again to three. But Manyara proved to be the biggest stumbling block to the Archers’ comeback trail as he grabbed another offensive rebound and was fouled in the process.
Manyara’s charities gave Adamson a 66-61 cushion heading into the final 31.7 seconds. And the Archers ran out of time chasing the Falcons with Lester Alvarez and Nuyles icing the game at the stripes.
The win gave the Falcons the no.3 seeding and more importantly, the momentum heading into a Final Four meeting with the loser of the Saturday showdown between the top two teams – Far Eastern University Tamaraws (11-2) and defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles (10-3).
It marked the first time under Austria that the Falcons, which finished with a 9-5 record, have beaten the Archers twice in a season. They were also the first team to hold the Archers to zero fastbreak point since 2003, the year that statistics were computerized by Imperium Tehcnology.
“This win is very important for us because no matter what happens [in the Final Four], we’re no. 3 and that’s a big leap from our top 5 finish last season. But whoever we play in the Final Four, we’ll be focused dahil ito na ang pinakahihintay namin, ayaw naming sayangin,” Austria said.
La Salle, on the other hand, lost their sixth in 14 games and wound up with the no. 4 seeding that accompany the tall odds of having to beat the top team twice in the Final Four.
Vosotros, who pegged the final count with a three-pointer before the buzzer, led the Archers with 13 points and four assists.
The Scores:
AdU 69 – Manyara 11, Alvarez 11, Nuyles 9, Cabrera 9, Etrone 8, Canada 8, Camson 7, Stinnett 2, Monteclaro 2, Galinato 2, Brondial 0, Lozada 0, Colina 0, Basilio 0.
DLSU 64 – Vosotros 13, Marata 11, Dela Paz 9, Mendoza 8, Andrada 7, Villanueva 4, Webb 3, Reyes 2, Tampus 2, Paredes 2, Atkins 2, Ferdinand 1, Elorde 0, Tolentino 0, Banal 0.

Lady Falcons dominate Lady Warriors
Lady Falcons dominate Lady Warriors
By Alder T. Almo
Manila, Philippines – The Adamson Falcons moved within three games away from sweeping the UAAP Season 73 women’s basketball tournament after their dominant rout of the hapless University of the East Lady Warriors, 116-67, on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.
Six players hit in double figures as the Lady Falcons led from start to finish in recording the most lopsided win of the season as they remained unbeaten in 11 games.
Anna Buendia frolicked in the paint and finished with eye-popping numbers – 33 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block – while Gretchie Roque and Snow Penarranda added 17 and 13 markers, respectively.
So dominant were the Lady Falcons that they forced the Lady Warriors to a record 52 turnovers which they converted to 63 points.
Analyn Almasan, the reigning MVP, also dished out solid numbers for the Lady Falcons with 12 points on top of 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Gretchie Roque also hit 12 while Angelica Ortega pumped in 10 points.
Veteran playmaker Katherine Sandel only had 6 points but more than made up for it in the other departments – 8 boards, 10 assists and 7 steals.
UE, which dropped to 0-11, was led by Cindy Resultay’s 27 points and 10 rebounds.
The Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws, meanwhile, remained in step with the Lady Falcons as they improved to 10-1 after routing the Ateneo Lady Eagles, 70-55.
The Morayta-based cagebelles rode on the explosion of Raiza Palmera, who hit a career-high 31 points on 11-of-21 shooting from the floor.
Palmera teamed up with Karen Columna in a blistering second quarter blitz as the Lady Tamaraws built a 40-25 advantage from a 1-point lead in the opening period.
Palmera and Columna combined for 20 points in the quarter, outscoring the entire Lady Eagles, who only managed to put up 13 points.
The Lady Eagles bowed out from Final Four contention with their 8th loss against only 3 wins.
In the other games over the weekend, University of Sto. Tomas clinched a Final Four slot on its 68-57 conquest of University of the Philippines.
The UST Tigresses marched to their 7th win in 11 games while the Lady Maroons skidded to 2-9 in the team standings.
Mary Joy Galicia had a monster effort of 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks to lead the Tigresses, who are trailing De La Salle Lady Archers for the third spot.
The Lady Archers held down National University Lady Bulldogs, 65-59, to take a half game lead over the Tigresses with an 8-3 record.
The Lady Archers led 55-25 at the start of the fourth period but had to withstand a huge run by the Lady Bulldogs, which fell short.
