UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas Golden Tigresses and De La Salle University Lady Spikers booked a rematch in the University Games women’s volleyball finals after beating their respectively semifinals foes at the Foundation University Gym in Dumaguete City.
The defending champion Golden Tigresses returned to the championship round following a 25-12, 24-26, 25-19, 25-19 victory over Arellano University Lady Chiefs in the semifinals on Friday.
Veterans Ennajie Laure, Cherry Rondina and Caitlyn Viray were once again at the forefront of offense for Golden Tigresses, which won all of its five matches so far in the weeklong tourney.
Reigning UAAP women’s volleyball champion Lady Spikers, meanwhile, completed the finals cast after a 25-16, 25-22, 25-9 sweep of College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers in the other Final Four game.
Lady Spikers turned to Kim Dy, Desiree Cheng and Ernestine Tiamzon on offense, while Norielle Ipac played well replacing the ineligible Mary Joy Baron at the middle.
Meanwhile, a Grade 12 hurdler from Isabela, Negros Occidental made a successful debut in the annual games by bagging a silver and bronze medal during the men’s athletics event at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex.
Quin Aldrich Canapit – a gold medalist during the Negros Island Regional Palaro a few months ago, also in Dumaguete – settled for a silver medal in the men’s 400m.
The University of St. La Salle – Bacolod student then teamed up with Errik Empio, Jhomari Dioko and Rjay Mendrez to bag the bronze medal in the men’s 4x100m relay./PN
