MANILA – Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws remained ferocious sans star Bernadeth Pons. It scored a 28-26, 25-14, 25-16 win over the Jose Rizal University Lady Bombers in the Premier V-League Collegiate Conference at San Juan Arena.
Toni Rose Basas led the way with 15 points while Celine Domingo and Jeanette Villareal had eight markers apiece.
With the win, the Lady Tamaraws moved up to second place in Group A with 3-1 win-loss slate.
Pons, a native of Negros Occidental, was held out from the match as she represented the country in the 29th Southeast Beach Volleyball Championship at the Palawan Beach in Sentosa, Singapore.
“Mabuti na lang at nag-respond ang mga bata kahit wala si Pons,” said Lady Tamaraws head coach George Pascua. “Sa mga crucial na sitwasyon kasi siya ang pinupuntahan namin.”
The Lady Tamaraws seemed headed to an easy win in the opening set but was forced to a deadlock by the Lady Bombers. With the score tied at 26-all, Basas scored back-to-back points to clinch the set.
The Lady Tamaraws, however, was not much threatened in the second and third frame as it quickly jumped to an early lead on hits by Basas, Domingo and Villareal before preventing the uprising of the Lady Bombers.
Maria Shola Alvarez top-scored with nine points for the Lady Bombers, which formally bowed out of contention for the playoffs round after suffering its fifth consecutive defeat.
In the other match, San Sebastian College Lady Stags ended its elimination round campaign on a bright note following a 25-15, 24-26, 25-16, 25-23 domination over College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers./PN
