UAAP Women's Volleyball

First Round

Lady Tigers vs Lady Falcons

Another Five Setter for the Falcons

After missing the Ateneo vs Adamson Women's Volley Match [a five-setter won by ADM] last Sunday, Jan.6 - I made sure yesterday that I wouldn't miss another potential [ADU and UST are tied in the standings] five-setter between the L Tigers and L Falcons. Lo and behold, another five-setter did ensue yesterday. Cool !!

Here are some random images :

Veteran vs Veteran
Pau Soriano [#2] is blocked by Judy Caballejo [#11]

Pamela Lastimosa [#6] - 15 markers

[seen above, making a gutsy save and below, on the attack]

Judy Caballejo [#11] - 15 markers

[Veteran Smarts]

Maika Ortiz [#7] - 15 markers

[Stop Me If You Can !]

POW !!

Pau Soriano [#2] - 25 big ones !!

Sheila Pineda [#1] - 16 markers

[next three images]

Pineda is at the upper right, spiking

Luisa Zapanta [#5] - 9 markers
[above and below]

Princess Listana
[above & below, digging]

Macatuno saves as Banaticla watches

Tough Tigers - Tunay, Ortiz, Lantin

Villanueva defends

Lastimosa [#6] again, but this time

May Jennifer Macatuno [#14] is swift to respond

[three frame sequence, below]

Loren Lantin [#14] - 9 markers

like Pam Lastimosa has been gradually improving her game

the past tours UST has participated in

[noticed that she had lost a few ponds, since last I saw her]

[next two images]

Lady Falcon [and rookie] Amanda Villanueva [#6]
[next four frames]

Somehow, I like this girl [Amanda] to win the Rookie of the Year Award , see the Falcons on to the Final Four and earn a shot at the Finals. Truth be Told, I root for the Lady Eagles, but after that - I am a Falcon Fan.

Amanda Villanueva manages only 4 points in the match
[playing only in the first three sets]

Match point !!

Carmela Tunay [#8] - 11 markers [upper right, spiking]
and none more crucual than this one !!! -
against Falcons Erika Alquino [#17] and Marleen Cortel [#15]
No Less !!!
