UNBEATEN National University sustained its winning ways yesterday to sweep Pool B of the girls’ competition of the 2024 Philippine National Volleyball Federation Under-18 Championship at the Rizal Memorial Sports Coliseum.
The Lady Bulldogs displayed their strong offensive game to whip Canossa Academy-Lipa 25-13, 25-9 in just 37 minutes and book their fifth consecutive win in the tournament organized by the PNVF headed by President Ramon “Tats” Suzara.
Canossa Academy-Lipa, which fell to 1-3 record, had a hard time executing its offense and receiving due to NU’s organized attack in both sets.
University of Santo Tomas (UST) also swept girls’ Pool A last Saturday with 25-10, 25-15 victory over Maryhill College Lucena.
Only the first four teams from each group will move to the knockout playoffs to be played under a regular best-of-five set format from a shortened three-set play in the ongoing preliminary round.
Gracel Christian College survived a grueling second set to outlast Limitless Sports Center, 25-22, 28-26, and seal its playoff ticket in Pool A with a 3-2 mark. Limitless Sports Center ended winless in five games.
