UAAP Womens' Volleyball Playoffs

February 22, Saturday, Arena in San Juan
Lady Eagles vs Lady Falcons
Win or Go Home



                     Set #        1          2         3
Ateneo                         26       25        25
Adamson                     24       23        21        


 Valdez - Airborne !!

 Rookie Michelle Morente [#3] complements Alyssa's 10 pts. with 12 of her own.  Ella de Jesus [#8] has 11, Amy "Kiwi" Ahomiro [#16] has 11, while returning Aeriel Patnogon  [#1] adds 5


This is the last playing year for Lady Falcons Luisa Mae Zapanta [#5]  
and Shiela "Bangs" Pineda [#1] { Shiela, not surprisingly, leads the Falcons with 12 pts., Mae contributes 9, while Amanda Villanueva [#6] 
[in 2 photos below] adds 10.

 
Lady Falcon Frontliner Amanda Villanueva [#6], I suppose, will be expected to lead Adamson, in her last playing year next season.

 This Ateneo win knocks out the Lady Falcons from the race, and forges a showdown between the Lady Eagles and the Lady Bulldogs, on Wednesday, February 26. [NU has the twice-to-beat advantage] 

The DLSU Lady Spikers have already taken the first Finals Slot last Saturday, February 15 - so it's either Ateneo or NU who will eventually challenge DLSU


Mae Zapanta and Shiela Pineda
[all suited up for their last UAAP match ]
Hey, they can still play for Adamson, 
in the upcoming Shakey's V-League [Season 10], this summer


PS
 I have a small bundle [fr where this photo comes from] of Behind the-Scenes images taken in that weekend just past [San Juan Arena / SMART Araneta]  - with the likes of Amanda Villanueva, Apple David, Trisha Santos, Denden Lazaro, Mich del Carmen, Alyssa Valdez, the rest of the Lady Eagles [post match photos in the Ateneo dugout], Chris Tiu, Gabe Norwood, Mark Pingris, Valeen Montenegro, Sheila and Mae [of course]    ....

Will post them very, very soon ...
