ballMANILA, Philippines — Defending champion National University booked a return trip to the Shakey’s V-League finals after sweeping University of Santo Tomas, 25-21, 25-22, 25-19, in their best-of-three semifinals series Tuesday at the Filioil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

The Lady Bulldogs, who took Game 1 in four sets last Sunday, leaned on the towering Santiago sisters Dindin and Jaja to make quick work of the Tigresses.

The Tigresses ended the tournament on a three-game losing skid but showed promise heading into the coming UAAP Season 77 with the emergence of Lastimosa, the much-improved play of Marivic Meneses and a rising star in the 16-year-old Laure.

NU will face either Adamson or Far Eastern University with the Lady Falcons up 1-0 in their semis duel.
