Lady Tigresses Took Game 1 of Best of Three Finals

It boils down to the finals. Defending champions De La Salle goes up against the lady tigresses for game 1 of the best of 3 for Season 72 of UAAP women's volleyball.

The lady tigresses led the set early on but the lady archers managed to catch up after a series of exchange hits from both teams. A very close first set, the lady archers were able to get the first set, 26-24.

On the second set, the lady archers still used Garbin as their setter, while on the otherside, veteran libero Curato started to play. Long rallies, power hits, quick sets between both teams were exchanged. The lady tigresses took the second set, 25-23.

It was a different 3rd set as the lady tigresses started to pull away early on the set. On this set, there were lots of loose balls, errors, service aces and smart plays from both teams. But the lady tigresses capitalized over the lady archers on this set, 25-16.

At the 4th set, it was still a slow start for the lady archers as the lady tigresses capitalized on the archer's errors. The set was close until the 20th point. There was a slight contention of Siy commiting net error on the 20th point. The lady tigresses took the set and game 1, 25-21.

This has been the only game between both teams wherein it lasted only 4 sets. Their first meeting, DLSU won, the second, UST won, both a thrilling 5 set.

Each team has their own "statements," green hair streaks and arm bands for the lady archers, braided hairs and colorful shoe laces for the lady tigresses.

Lady Bulldogs get their First Win over Lady Red Warriors, Lady Tigresses won over the Lady Archers

All is not lost for the lady bulldogs. It may be their last game, but definitely not impossible to win a game. The lady bulldogs may have been winless the entire season, but they had their moment when they won against the lady red warriors, today at the Arena in San Juan City.

During their first meeting, the game was extended to 5 sets wherein the lady red warriors won. The lady bulldogs, under their new coach Dante Alinsunurin, trained, practiced hard and took each of their games as opportunities to learn, grow and improve. On their last game, the lady bulldogs won over the lady red warriors in straight sets 3-0.

The lady red warriors almost stole the 3rd set but the crowd favorite, Mervic Mangui and the rest of the lady bulldogs held tight on their defense to claim their first win on their last game of the season.

In the main event, the lady tigresses won over the defending champions the lady archers. Both of their meetings extended in 5 sets, the first won by the lady archers, the second, by the lady tigresses. Both teams showed their championship form and experience as they outwitted and showed power on the court.

The only team to beat the lady archers, the lady tigresses' win still placed them 2nd in the rankings. Both of them gained the twice to beat advantage when they play against the lady eagles and lady falcons, 3rd and 4th placer, respectively, in the top four.

The score in favor of the lady tigresses, 23-25, 25-20, 26-28, 25-16 and 15-12.

Author's note: I would like to stress both team's sportsmanship. Maybe it was not shown on television, but when Ateneo won against Adamson yesterday, I saw Paulina Soriano of the lady falcons extended her joy, delight and camaraderie with the lady eagles with a hug.

Likewise with the tigresses and the archers, its purely sport and despite their efforts to win as part of school pride and prestige, both still remains to be friends with each other.
