NU spread the wealth for a 2-0 start in the UAAP Season 84 women’s volleyball tournament following a four-set victory over Ateneo at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, May 7.
Cess Robles churned out 18 points off 17 attacks and 1 block to lead four players in double figures as the Lady Bulldogs hacked out a 25-22, 25-15, 22-25, 25-22 triumph over the defending champion Blue Eagles.
Ivy Lacsina, Mhicaela Belen, and Alyssa Solomon also scored in twin digits in the win that saw NU rebound from an error-strewn third set to keep Ateneo winless in two games.
The Blue Eagles capitalized on 15 errors the Lady Bulldogs coughed up in the third set to avoid a sweep, but squandered a late lead in the fourth set in another frustrating loss.
“We played well but there is still something missing,” said Robles in Filipino.
