The College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers showed that they are still a force in the upcoming NCAA wars after a clinical 25-19, 25-20, 25-13 romp of the Lyceum Lady Pirates in the V-League Women’s Collegiate Challenge on Friday at Paco Arena in Manila.
Middle blocker Zam Nolasco dominated upfront and came away with 12 points on nine spikes and three blocks to lead the way for back-to-back NCAA women’s volleyball champions the Lady Blazers.
Clydel Catarig and Corrine Apostol added eight points apiece for the Lady Blazers, which also used the tournament to test some of their new players.
“We found some bright spots and found some problems na kailangan pang i-work out. Overall, masaya naman that we got the win and nag-perform naman ‘yung karamihan,” said Lady Blazers head coach Jerry Yee.
Joan Doguna scored nine points, while Janeth Tulang fired five attack points and finished with eight markers for the NCAA Season 98 runner-up, the Lady Pirates.
