MANILA, Philippines—National University made light work of De La Salle, 25-22, 25-15, 25-19, to remain unblemished in the UAAP Season 84 women’s volleyball tournament Tuesday at Mall of Asia Arena.

The Lady Bulldogs’ usual hitters came to play with Alyssa Solomon at the forefront of yet another lethal offensive display that left the Lady Spikers searching for answers.
