De La Salle talisman Kim Kianna Dy had no problems taking a little breather ahead of their much-ballyhooed rematch against rivals Ateneo in the UAAP Season 79 women’s volleyball tournament.
Dy sat out the Lady Spikers’ match against bottom-dwellers Adamson University but her absence was hardly felt as the defending champions made it a quick 25-13, 25-14, 25-16 win.

Dy injured her left ankle on Wednesday in their three-set win over University of Santo Tomas, 25-23, 25-22, 25-21, where she finished with 12 points.
La Salle assistant coach Noel Orcullo said team physicians advised Dy to take at least three days rest.
