Lady Spikers score second straight win in UAAP volleyball

The De La Salle Lady Spikers secured their second consecutive win in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament by defeating the Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws in three straight sets.

Rookie-MVP Angel Canino spearheaded the offense with 13 points, including 11 kills, marking her second time as top scorer this season.

Shevana Laput provided strong support with 10 points, showcasing her attacking and blocking prowess.

Libero Lyka De Leon was instrumental in the team's defense, recording 16 excellent digs and 12 receptions.

Despite the victory, both teams struggled with errors, with FEU committing 26 and De La Salle committing 17 unforced errors.

FEU mounted a comeback attempt in the third set, narrowing the deficit to one point after La Salle's offensive lapses, but ultimately could not overcome the defending champions.

Despite the win, both Canino and deputy coach Noel Orcullo expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, emphasizing the need for more rigorous training to improve their consistency and reduce errors as they continue their title defense campaign.
