Shakey’s V League: Lady Eagles prevail over Lady Bulldogs
Shakey’s V League: Lady Eagles prevail over Lady Falcons
MANILA, Philippines— (UPDATE) Ateneo de Manila UniversityLady Eagles prevailed at the heels of a forfeiture of its first win even as Adamson University Lady Falcons powered its way back to the finals of the Shakey’s V-League 1st conference Tuesday at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
The Lady Eagles, upon learning of the forfeiture this morning, left no stones unturned in game two as they socked the National University Lady Bulldogs, 25-14, 25-18, 25-20.
“I just told the kids that we shall not do anything that will affect how we play on the court,” said Ateneo head coach Charo Soriano, whose squad knotted the series at 1-all.
They definitely played like they hadn’t lost a valuable advantage as the Lady Eagles held the Lady Bulldogs on a chokehold for the entire match.
Guest player Kesinee Lithawat had 20 points, while Fille Cainglet led the locals 12 on 11 kills and a block.
Ateneo’s 25-27, 25-14, 25-10, 25-19 victory in the semifinals last Thursday was declared forfeited on a technical error on using a libero after a protest was filed the NU. (A “libero” is loosely defined a defensive specialist who plays in the back row or the player in a team who sports a jersey with a different color and design, and could enter and exit the game without permission from the umpire.)
The Lady Eagles fielded Beatriz Tan in libero as a regular player last Thursday, and was even allowed to play the entire fourth set.
But apparently, libero players registered cannot revert back as a regular player according to FIVB (Federation Internationale De Volleyball) regulations.
Soriano admits her coaching staff was at fault and takes full responsibility, but feels like things like that “could have been prevented.”
What could have been a 2-0 lead for the Lady Eagles turned to a free-for-all game three to be played on Thursday (May 12) at 4pm in the same venue.
Meanwhile, the Lady Falcons just made short work of University of St. La Salle-Bacolod in the best-of-three semifinals by downing the Lady Stingers, 26-24, 22-25, 25-17, 25-17, in game two.
Guest player Nerissa Bautista fired in 22 markers, while skipper Angela Benting added 19 for Adamson, who are determined to avenge its runner-up finish to San Sebastian last year.
“We expected to be back in the finals. We wanted to finish the series immediately, and that’s what we did,” said Lady Falcons coach Dulce Pante.
Adamson will await the winner of the Ateneo-NU match.

V-League: Ateneo, Adamson go for the kill vs semis rivals
V-League: Ateneo, Adamson go for the kill vs semis rivals
Tournament favorites Ateneo and Adamson go for the kill against their respective semifinals rivals on Tuesday and set up a Finals showdown in the 8th Shakey’s V-League First Conference at The Arena in San Juan.
Adamson battles University of St. La Salle-Bacolod in the first game at 2 p.m. while Ateneo clashes with National University at 4 p.m.
The Lady Eagles and the Lady Falcons will try to formalize their entry by finishing off the semifinals series with a victory against their opponents and hope to arrange a rematch of the 2008 First Conference titular showdown.
The first time these two teams met in the Finals, Adamson defeated Ateneo.
“Kung makakaya naming tapusin na, pipilitin na namin para wala na kaming ibang aalalahanin, makakapaghanda pa kami ng maayos sa Finals,” said Adamson coach Dulce Pante after her team won in straight sets, 25-19, 25-23, 25-22, in the opener of the best-of-three Final Four series last Thursday.
“Wala na kaming gagawing adjustment. Kung ano yung nilaro namin ngayon, ganundin ang gagawin namin sa susunod. Pero may tututukan ako ngayon,yung spike ni Mic-Mic.”
Mic-Mic is none other than Laborte, one of the team’s guest players and top hitters, who only made eight points in the first game. But Laborte is still recuperating from a right arm injury which she incurred while playing beach volleyball in Indonesia late last month.
But USLS is not ready to throw the white towel.
Guest players Aiza Maizo and Jovelyn Gonzaga were given a few days to the Lady Stingers’ system. They struggled in their first game, where they combined for only 13 hits.
Also expected to make up for her conference low six points last Thursday is Patty Owrendain, the team and league’s leading scorer.
Like the Lady Stingers, the Lady Bulldogs are battling for survival. They lost 27-25, 14-25, 10-25, 19-25. But Ateneo coach Charo Soriano is not counting out NU, which is playing with nothing to lose.
“The Lady Bulldogs are resilient, they are capable of coming back in this series,” said the Ateneo’s rookie mentor.
Soriano will again pin her hopes on their explosive guest players — Thai Lithawat Kesinee and Alyssa Valdez.
NU coach Francis Vicente will rely on his guest players Denise Santiago, Cherry May Vivas and Monique Tiangco in hope of salvaging a win and forcing a do-or-die match. -RCJ, GMA News
