Lady Blazers repulse Lady Titans

MANILA, Philippines — College of Saint Benilde came back from a set down to repel Enderun Colleges, 21-25, 27-25, 25-18, 25-22, for a rebound win in the 2026 Shakey’s Collegiate National Invitationals yesterday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

The Lady Blazers capitalized on their gutsy second-set fightback to turn the tables around and frustrate the listless Lady Titans for their second victory in three starts.

Rookie winger Mhonniecka Soliven blasted 20 points on 18 kills and two aces to steer CSB back in the win column of the competition backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner, and R and B Milk Tea following a four-set loss to University of Santo Tomas on Monday to improve to a 2-1 win-loss record.

Camila Bartolome added 19 markers built on 14 attacks, including the match-clinching crosscourt kill, four kill blocks and an ace, while Mary Grace Borromeo and Fionna Inocentes added nine points each for the Lady Blazers, who managed to snatch the win despite throwing away 31 points on errors.

Meanwhile, UST boosted its Final Four bid with a third straight win after sweeping Letran, 25-22, 25-17, 25-13, to stay on top of the standings.

The trio of Avril Bron, Erica Guttierez and Bianca Plaza led the unbeaten Golden Tigresses’ assault as they inched closer to securing a spot in the knockout semifinal.
