It’s San Sebastian
vs UST for crown
SAN Sebastian ended La Salle’s reign in the
Shakey’s V-League, pulling off a 25-18, 23-25, 25-21, 25-22
victory in their sudden-death match last night to arrange a
showdown with University of Santo Tomas for the crown at The
Arena in San Juan.
Thai import Jaroensri Bualee and Laurence
Ann Latigay combined for 58 points as they neutralized La
Salle’s vaunted frontline with their quick plays and ferocious
attacks, powering the Recoletos-based spikers to a second
straight championship appearance.
The victory avenged SSC’s setback to La
Salle in last conference’s finale where the Lady Archers won
their third straight title.
Game One of the best-of-three title series,
backed by Mikasa, Accel, Jaemark’s Restaurant and Smart Buddy
and organized by Sports Vision, is set on Sunday at 4 p.m.
La Salle and Lyceum dispute third place
honors at 2 o’clock.
San Sebastian, which lost the No. 1 spot in the finals to
UST by the thinnest of margins in the tiebreak 1.146-1.144
despite a 3-0 sweep of Lyceum in the final semis game last
Tuesday, seized control early as Bualee and Latigay alternated
in hammering out powerful kills that pierced through La
Salle’s defense.
