MANILA, Philippines — National University kept its championship hopes alive after sweeping Ateneo de Manila University in straight sets to force a winner-take-all match in the 10th Shakey’s V-League First Conference finals at the packed Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Lady Bulldogs flaunted potent offense at the start, displayed fighting heart in the middle set and closed the Lady Eagles out with their vaunted defense to win, 26-24, 25-23, 25-22 in Game 2 of their best-of-three series.

Myla Pablo sparked NU with 15 points spiked by 13 hits while Most Valuable Player Dindin Santiago had 12 points.

Meanwhile, Alyssa Valdez and Jang Bualee posted 17 and 15 markers, respectively, but Ateneo could not overcome the paltry output from Rachel Daquis, who only had 4 points. 

Both teams get a week-long respite as Game 3 will be played on Sunday, June 2, at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. – Rappler.com
