UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas drubbed Letran 25-23, 25-12, 20-25, 25-18 yesterday for its third straight win in the preliminaries of the V-League Collegiate Challenge men’s division at the Paco Arena in Manila.
Trevor Valera and Al-Buhkarie Sali led the Golden Spikers with 14 points each while GBoy De Vega had an all-around outing of 11 markers, 12 excellent receptions and four digs in the almost two-hour showdown.
The Espana-based crew improved to 3-2 in a tie with National University.
UST coach Odjie Mamon, who returned to the team after his stint as a member of the coaching staff of the Alas Pilipinas men’s volleyball team, said there’s a lot left to be desired.
“Not the things I wanted to see. I have two days to review and make them focus again on what I’m trying to teach them,” Mamon said. “We are still focusing sa amin muna kasi may binago ako sa sistema so that’s one thing we should master.
“Tapos siguro saka kami magpre-prepare na sa kalaban,” he added.
Vince Himzon showed the show for the Knights with 16 points.
Letran slipped to 2-3.
