WNCAA WARS: DLSZ bags 4 titles; RTU tossers score

MANILA, Philippines—De La Salle Zobel collected three titles over the weekend to emerge the winningest squad at the close of the 42nd WNCAA’s first semester of events at the St. Scholastica’s College gym.

DLSZ raised its collection to four championships as it retained its midgets basketball and volleyball championships and took the junior basketball plums.

Two weeks ago, the Alabang-based school bagged its fourth straight junior futsal title.

Other winners were host Rizal Technological University (senior volleyball), Centro Escolar University (senior basketball) and Miriam College (junior volleyball).

DLSZ kept its midgets cage title with a 47-19 win over Miriam in their winner-take-all series. In midgets volleyball, the young Archers completed their two-game sweep of the St. Scholastica Scions after a 27-25, 14-25, 25-15 Game 2 triumph.

A third championship came in junior basketball as DLSZ stopped St. Jude Catholic School, 62-41, to also post a 2-0 decision.

In the seniors division, the RTU tossers plucked the volleyball title after holding off San Beda College Alabang, 25-11, 20-25, 25-17, 25-14, while the CEU five upended RTU, 82-48.

Both RTU and CEU squads ended their campaigns undefeated.

Miriam, meanwhile, capped its comeback with an 18-25, 25-18, 25-15, 15-25, 16-14 victory over San Beda for a 2-1 series victory.

San Beda took Game 1, 25-23, 22-25, 25-20, 23-25, 17-15, but Miriam leveled the series with an 11-25, 19-25, 25-22, 25-23, 15-13 Game 2 triumph.
