The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Colegio San Agustin sustained its top form and waylaid Pasay City West High School, 25-20, 25-14, to move within a win from sweeping Pool B of the Shakey’s Girls’ Volleyball League NCR leg at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum last Sunday.

Ana Gopico, Samantha Torres and Julia Morado combined for 25 hits, including 12 kills, and five blocks as the CSA belles survived a tough first set duel before coasting to another sweep for their third straight victory and closer to the semifinals.

Angelicum College bounced back from an opening day setback to CSA as it blasted St. James Academy-Malabon, 25-8, 25-10, also in Pool B action of the event sponsored by Toby’s Sports, Mikasa as official ball, Tune Hotels as official residence of the Tournament of Champions, Asics and Volley Prep.

Carla Sandoval and Melanie Torres delivered nine attacks between themselves while Cristine Alvarez and Dianne Ong had six kills and two blocks for Angelicum.

Gen. Pio del Pilar National HS also stayed in the semis hunt in Pool A as it held off MGC New Life Christian Academy, 25-20, 25-20.

Angelica Anoya and Louise Imperial scored 17 and 14 points, respectively, for the GPP tossers, who improved to 2-1.

Also held simultaneous with the NCR leg are the other regional qualifiers with the winners advancing to the Tournament of Champions set Jan. 22-26, 2013.

Spicing up the T-of-C is the participation of Australia’s Victoria High School team, according to tournament director Johanz Buenvenida.
