Shakey's V-League
Season 10
Opening Day - April 7, Sunday
 Arena, San Juan

Game 1
Ateneo's Lady Eagles vs UST's Lady Tigers

Guest player [former Tam] Rachel Anne Daquis [#13] [next two images] more than compensates for the absence of Dzi Gervacio [vacationing in Italy] and Gretcen Ho [who simply wants to watch these days] and A Nacachi [last i hear she's spending time in Batangas].




Finesse Move


The Lady Tigers sign up former alum Aiza Mazo [#8] to beef up [yup, she did gain some pounds] their line-up.  Still, Mazo packs a punch and leads UST  with 12 points.  [next two photos]



Ka- Boom !


Who Wouldda Thought
That former Lady Tam Rachel Daquis would don the Blue & White one day ??
In the Shakey's V-League, teams are allowed to guest
 any two players of their choice.


Daquis contributes 12 [next to Valdez' 22] to the Ateneo cause
[images above and below]

Still Lean & Mean
Daq be Nimble - Daq be Quick !!



Alyssa Valdez digs this one.



 The ever improving Carmela Tunay [#18] [left] manages 10 makers
[two images above]

 Here, Mazo [visibly bulkier than her usual] [left] 
challenges Cainglet's D.


 Two Former UAAP Champions,
Aiza Mazo [left] and Rachel Daquis [right] go at it


Here, Fille Cainglet [left] does what she does  best - Score.


 But what would a Lady Eagle Win be
if not for the lethal spikes of Ateneo's "Air Valdez"
[above and below]




            Set #         1           2           3
ADM                     25         25         25
UST                      23        23          20

Game 2

Danna Henson [#14] miscalculates as the ball hits the net.

The Bulldog D at work
[above and below]

Angelica Legacion [#15]  is thwarted by Jaja Santiago [middle] and
 Myla Pablo [right].



Arellano U's guest player, Nerissa Bautista [#1]
finishes Set #3 for the Lady Chiefs [25-23] with this spike
- to extend the match to a 4th Set.

Despite Bautista's 13 and guest player's Mary Jean Balse's 15  -
The combined efforts of .   .   .

 Aiko Urdas [#9] and Dindin Santiago [#16] 
--shown here blocking Dana Henson [#14]--


 and Myla Pablo [#11] 
--here, scoring over Angelica Lagacion [#15] 
 on her way to accumulating 19 points

Pablo Again! 
This time vs Elaine Sagun [#4]


and Dindin Santiago's younger sibling [a tall 6'4" !!] Alyja [aka Jaja],
--- shown here, doing her bit on Defense -

Din Din Does it Again
Signed, Sealed , Delivered
Her real name's Aleona. The six footer closes out Set #4
[this is the game-winning spike]
as the Bulldogs notch Win #1. 
The former Lady Tiger leads all scorers with 22 points.


          Set #      1      2       3       4
NU                   25     25    23     25
AU                   21     19    25     20           

And On a Light Note -  Two stolen post match snaps -
UST's Mela Tunay - posing with some fans and
ADM's Marge Tejada [very promising rookie] obliging a smile.
