Weekend - Install #5 {revised}

Last Saturday - McKinley Stadium


- Mud on Eagles' Wings -
- Water of a Duck's Back ? -


Saturday, the 27th, witnessed a 3-0 sweep by the DLSU Lady Spikers over the erstwhile undefeated ADMU Lady Eagles [their last loss, in the UAAP, that is] was, I believe, March 12, 2014, thereabouts, at the hands of the Aby Marano-led Lady Archers.

                                                             71st  -  Obra scores

90th - Nierras scores

That evening, the AWFT, meanwhile, was taken down by the Lady Maroons [2-0] 
complements of Mary Rose and Sabrina "Brina" Nierras.
A bad day for the Eagle Faithful, no less ....

Anyway - THAT is the nature of sport, as i am constantly reminded, match-in, match-out.  The Ball is Round -- Sports, like Life, IS Ebb and Flow -- When the Going gets Really Rough, one simply has to Roll w the Punches -- because, as oft said - It Ain't Over Till It's Over.  


Managing an extremely backlighted action photo is tough enough for me -
 but, I suppose, not as tough as playing catch-up football [behind 2-0]
in the latter part of a match

The struggling football and volleyball teams simply have to step up - there is still just enough matches/opps to make it to the top half of the standings.

[Me, on a personal note - my 100-400mm tele images haven't been up to par, lately - the ratio of my Good Shots to my "Useless Shots" - has taken a dive - STILL, I have to manage w/ manual focus, for the meantime [ my lens, after 5 plus years or so of wear and tear, needs to be serviced {Now, scheduling that Is the concern, not to mention how much I might spend for it !} ].
 
Again, Gotta Take Thing as They Come - Gut it Out, so to speak,
with what I have  -  and Roll with the Punches. 


   


No impressive comeback for Ateneo this time around

Final
UP - 2     ADMU - 0

Kitkat Montelibano / Fiona Faulkner / Marianne Capaross

  
                                                 Pam Diaz                 Aina Martin & Bea Velasco
[halftime huddle steals]


Always loved capturing the texture of Bea's wavy, light-colored locks - ha ha
{among other/on the "lighter-side" of things}


Nona Amoncio [#8] and Cam Rodriguez [below]
- They've seen Better Days - Feb 27 just simply isn't one of those -





Like Water of a Duck's back ??
Whatever ...

Despite the [3-0] sweep at the hands of their arch-rival DLSU Green Archers, 
frontliners Alyssa Valdez and Amy Ahomiro exude a cheerful,
 light-hearted demeanor as the team sings their alma mater song.


Again, to the struggling teams ...
It Ain't Over Till It's Over
Step - Up !


{Round 2 of the UAAP Womens' Volleyball Tournament commences in a week or so}
