Start of the Shakey's V-League 7th Season Conference 1

The Shakey's V-League 7th Season 1st Conference officially opened yesterday, April 11, 2010 at The Arena in San Juan City. Shakey's contribution in uplifting one of the most well loved sports by the Filipino started way back in 2004, with some of the pioneers in the collegiate volleyball that stayed up until now.

With the growing fondness of the Filipinos with this sport, the tournament itself is one of the many steps that we will take to harness potential volleyball players in the country and to reign again as volleyball superstars in Southeast Asia.

Now at its 7th season, the Shakey's V-League adopts a new format in the tournament proper. 10 teams are now participating and divided into two groups playing via the round robin format. Under this new scheme, 3 Visayan Schools join the league at this early stage of the game.

To start of the game, College of St. Benilde went up against Ateneo De Manila University wherein the latter won in 3 straight sets. With Soriano and Sontaya as their guest players, the Lady Eagles were able to pull a win against the Lady Blazers though the scores on each set was rather a close one. Player of the Game was Fille Cainglet.

In the main event, old school rivalry was rekindled as the last conference's champions UST Lady Tigresses went up against the FEU Lady Tamaraws. Winning the match in 3 straight sets, the game was relatively a breeze for the Lady Tigresses despite having only one guest player which is Mary Jean Balse. On the other hand, two new guest players for FEU, Yongco and Dela Cruz's performance was not totally a solid one as the Lady Tamaraws are under a wing of a new coach.

Tune in again for the latest news in the Shakey's V-League!
