USJR spikers on a mission
March 29, 2006 | 12:00am
University of San Jose Recoletos hurdled its opening match yesterday and underscored its intention to rule the mens division of the 10th Nestea Beach Volley Championships.
Jonrey Sasing and Joseph Alguno said they trained long and hard for this years competition as they hope to avenge their bitter loss to St. Benilde in the 2005 finals in Boracay.
"We trained for two months. And we trained almost everyday in the last few weeks," said Alguno after he and Sasing whipped University of the Visayas, 25-14.
The USJR pair put on a dazzling show at the La Salle Greenhills sandcourt as the Visayas elims, featuring 12 teams each in the mens and womens divisions, got underway.
"But we intend to take it one game at a time. Our initial target is to get to Boracay," said Sasing, a member of the 2002 USJR team that won the mens crown.
USJR also won the title in 2004.
Foundation University and University of St. La Salle won their first two matches in the mens division to boost their chances of making it to the next round of this summer event.
Foundations Kent Bulabon and Rolando Agus eked out a 25-14 win over Colegio dela Purisima Concepcion before pulling off a 25-19 win over University of Southern Philippines.
St. La Salles Marlon Luces and Mark Sabusap won twice, beating Iloilo Doctors College, 25-17, in the morning before stopping University of San Carlos, 25-22, in the afternoon.
In the womens side, University of San Agustins Nerrisa Bautista and Krista Marie Dolendo stunned Marites Natad and Hazel Pineros of three-time champion Southwestern University, 25-12.
Recording early wins like San Agustin were University of Cebu over San Carlos, 25-16, Negros Occ. Recoletos over University of Iloilo, 25-5, and St. La Salle over University of Southern Philippines, 26-24.
