UE spikers pace semifinalists
DASMARIÑAS, Cavite—University of the East pair Francislyn Cais and Krycel Cueva scored a four-game sweep of their elimination-round assignments to barge into the semifinals of the third leg of the 2014 Petron Ladies’ Beach Volleyball tournament.
The UE tandem started off with a 21-12 rout of San Beda-2’s Shannen Lim and Camille de la Pena, before notching three more wins in Group B to clinch a berth in the knockout semifinal round of this beach volley fiesta backed by Petron, Mikasa Balls and the De La Salle-Health Sciences Institute.
They bested Letran-2’s Ethel Evangelista and Mikaela Lopez, 21-17, and then pounded Emilio Aguinaldo College-2’s Yvonne Reyes and Arnie Yumul, 21-16, before clobbering DLSD alumni spikers Rosebiege Mendoza and Shiela Mae Nanquil, 21-11.
Cais and Cueva joined Far Eastern U’s Bernadette Pons and Charm Simborio, who also swept Group A, in the semifinals.
Pons and Simborio earlier downed Adolfo and Gorospe, 21-12, to forge a semifinal clash with EAC 2’s Reyes and Yumul.
EAC 1’s Charmille Belleza and Clara Camille Lozada finished with a 3-1 slate to arrange a semifinal clash with the UE pair.
