MANILA, Philippines — And the dry spell continues for Far Eastern University.
Philippine Navy turned to its battle-grizzled veterans to hammer Far Eastern University, 25-23, 25-23, 25-17, in the 10th Shakey’s V-League Open Conference on Sunday, September 8 at the FilOil Flying V Arena.
Ageless Mic-Mic Laborte led the Lady Sailors’ attack, coming through with 12 points while Kit Rosale complemented her veteran teammate as she wounded up with 10 hits on 9 attacks for Navy, who got its first win in the tournament.
“Sabi kasi kanina kalaban namin ay bata kaya sabi ko sa kanila ilabas natin ang pagka-matanda natin sa laro,” said Lady Sailors’ playing coach Zenaida Chavez. “Sabi ko sa kanila kung ano natutunan niyo sa volleyball ilabas niyo na.”
“No mercy,” added Chavez, a member of the last Philippine volleyball team that won the gold in the SEA Games.
It was, indeed, no mercy.
After winning the first two sets closely, Navy came out with guns ablaze in the third frame, pounding FEU with its solid floor defense compounded by the Lady Tams’ lethargic play as they led by as much as 20-11 off an attacking error by FEU.
The Morayta-based spikers tried to make things interesting behind Richelle Bagang, Marie Simborio and Jerrilli Malabanan, threatening on a Gizelle Sy point, 16-23.
But it was too little too late for the Lady Tamaraws.
A Laborte running attack pushed the Lady Sailors into match point, 24-16 before birthday girl Rem Palma would score for one time, 17-24.
But FEU’s next offensive attack underscored their play all-match long—miscommunication.
A miscue by the Lady Tams sealed the win for the Lady Sailors, 25-17.
No FEU spiker was able to break into double-digits, with Malabanan pacing her team with 8 points for the Lady Tamaraws, who dropped to 0-5. – Rappler.com
