La Salle Lady Spikers tossers rout Ateneo Lady Eagles

MANILA, Philippines — La Salle could still do no wrong as it pummeled Ateneo, 25-14, 25-14, 25-19, Sunday and stayed unbeaten in eight games in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at Filoil Flying V Arena.

The rematch between last season’s finalists panned out much like their first meeting last week, where the Lady Archers dominated the entire time with their excellent floor coverage behind Abigail Maraño and Mika Reyes.

“We were just focused,” said Maraño, the two-time Most Valuable Player who fired all but one of her 10 points on attacks. “We were able to execute the plays.”

The Lady Archers, who incredibly haven’t dropped a set this season, ended their first-round campaign also with a straight-set blasting of the Lady Eagles, 25-16, 25-20, 25-16, last week.

Reyes fired eight points and Cyd Demecillo had a pair of service aces in an eight-point outing.

Alyssa Valdez finished with 10 points to pace the Lady Eagles, who are running third at 5-3.

Earlier, Adamson overwhelmed University of the Philippines, 25-15, 25-9, 25-19, to claim a share of fourth place with idle Far Eastern University at 4-4.

Over at the Rizal Memorial ball park, La Salle nipped University of the Philippines, 8-7, to sweep the first round of the baseball tournament.
