UST, Adamson lady spikers keep bids alive

UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas and Adamson stayed in the running for the last semifinal berth after dispatching separate foes in the UAAP women’s volleyball yesterday at Filoil Flying V Arena.

The Tigresses cruised past winless University of the East, 25-10, 25-22, 25-11, while the Lady Tamaraws also turned back Adamson in straight sets, 25-20, 25-21, 25-18.

“We are trying to get to the semifinals the hard way,” said UST coach Odjie Mamon.

Both The Tigresses and the Lady Tamaraws wrapped up their elimination bids at 6-8, but University of the Philippines may still forge a three-way tie at fourth if it wins versus National U at 4 p.m. today.   In case of a three-way tie, the team with the superior quotient will take on the winner of the knockout battle between the two other teams.
