MANILA, Philippines – In a rematch of last year’s finals, Mika Reyes once again shone for the Lady Spikers as De La Salle University made short work of Ateneo de Manila University, 25-16, 25-20, 25-16, Sunday evening, January 12, before a jampacked crowd at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

Reyes put on a stellar performance for the reigning UAAP champions as she finished the game with 13 points, 7 of which coming from attacks and 6 from blocks, while Ara Galang added 10 markers to keep La Salle’s Season 76 record untarnished at 6-0.

The Lady Spikers displayed an all-around effort as they outgunned the Lady Eagles in attacks, 30-23, and took care of the ball better, limiting their errors to just 19 compared to Ateneo’s 26.

Alyssa Valdez led Ateneo’s losing cause as she scored 11 points but it proved to be a futile effort as the Katipunan-based side drops to third at the end of the first round with 5 wins in 7 games.

With the win, La Salle keeps strong grasp of the top spot at 6-0 and extends their UAAP winning streak to 22 games.  – Rappler.com
