The volleybelles of Coach Jordan Pacana won the match 25-8, 25-20, with Jessah Nacorda, Jinky Garidos, Dianne Navaja, Kaisse delos Santos and the Gabriel sisters, Rexamy and Louise, leading the attack.

USPF will try to make it a 3-0 slate when they go up against the University of Cebu (UC) Team A and Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School (MCCNHS) today.

STC unpacked the might of Mae Ann Acojedo, Angelica dela Cruz, Mayflor Judilla, Alexandra Singson and Shannon Gabiana on the hapless MCCNHS for its first win. STC will try to chalk up win number two at the expense of Don Gerardo National High School (DGNHS) this afternoon.
