Ateneo gets even with Adamson
Ateneo Blue Eagles secured their third consecutive victory in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament by sweeping Adamson Lady Falcons in straight sets.
The Blue Eagles avenged their earlier five-set loss to the Lady Falcons, where they blew a 2-0 set lead, implementing strategies to neutralize key player Shai Nitura.
Ateneo head coach Sergio Veloso highlighted their strong serves, which produced 12 service aces compared to Adamson's 5, as a key factor in their victory.
AC Miner led Ateneo with 13 points, Lyann de Guzman added 12, and Taks Fujimoto provided 17 excellent sets.
Ateneo's win improved their record to 4-5, placing them in a tie with the University of the Philippines and within reach of a top-four slot.
Despite the loss, Adamson's Shai Nitura was a standout performer in their previous match, scoring 21 points with 20 kills, and had set a rookie scoring record of 33 points in their first encounter.
The Ateneo players expressed satisfaction with the team's maturing mindset, especially with a reduced roster of 11 healthy players due to season-ending injuries to Zel Tsunashima and Sobe Buena.
