UAAP: Canino’s return not enough as La Salle misses out on bonus
Angel Canino returned to the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament for La Salle's final elimination game against University of Santo Tomas, but her comeback was not enough as La Salle yielded the twice-to-beat advantage to UST.
Canino, who had been sidelined for five games due to a cut on her right forearm, scored 13 points, all from attacks, in the match.
Despite Canino's return, La Salle lost to UST in straight sets, 22-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-15, which dropped the defending champions to the third seed in the Final Four.
This loss means La Salle will not have the twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four, a situation they last faced in 2019.
The game was a playoff for the No. 2 spot, with UST winning the bonus and ending La Salle's four-peat bid.
La Salle and UST will face each other again in the Final Four, with UST having the twice-to-beat advantage.
