Ateneo falls to UE, UST take win number 2

Just after marking their first win last Wednesday, the Lady Blue Eagles have stepped on the wrong foot again. Jorella De Jesus wasn't much of a factor this time against the University of the East Lady Warriors.

Coming off from their loss to UP on opening weekend UE sure want to blow off some steam. They got their opportunity to do that on Sunday.

Ateneo somehow got off to a strong start taking the first set of the game. The Lady Warriors made a few adjustments and was in control of the second and third sets leading the game 2-1.

UE struggled in the 4th set thus the Lady Blue Eagles took advantage to even up the sets two a piece.

Despite the strong plays of Fille Saint Cainglet and Gretchen Ho, it wasn't enough to power the Lady Blue Eagles as they faltered to UE in the 5th and final set. UE win 3-2 sets and has joined the winners block. FEU is the only team that has yet to get a W in the tournament.

Mary Cristel Rosale of the UE Lady Warriors scored 25 points (22 spikes, 2 serves).

UE -- 3 Ateneo -- 2 12-25, 25-20, 25-21, 13-25, 15-13

UST vs UP was up next. The Tigresses eye win number 2 and the Lady Fighting Maroons were looking to get off their losing streak.

UST took the first set albeit UP keeping it close. The Lady Maroons are a strong bunch with Carmela Lopez and Southlyn Ramos doing everything they can to even up the score. Like the first set, it was close but no cigar. Tigresses lead 2 sets to nil.

UST's Aiza Maizo was the best player in the game with 19 points (17 spikes, 2 blocks, serves).

UP started struggling in the 3rd set. UST's overpowering performance was just too much for the Lady Fighting Maroons to handle. UST swept UP 3-o sets. They must've been watching DLSU's games while they're not playing.

With their win over University of the Philippines, they're now at second place in the standings with a 2-0 record. DLSU still hold the top seed.

Men's Volleyball results:

Ateneo -- 3 Adamson -- 1 17-25, 25-22, 24-26, 20-25
