Volleyball: Lady Bulldogs show readiness to extend dynasty
The National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs secured their fourth consecutive Shakey's Super League (SSL) championship by sweeping the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Tigresses.
Despite the departure of key stars and a coaching shakeup, veteran players Vange Alinsug, Chams Maaya, Lams Lamina, and Shaira Jardio led the team.
In the finals, NU completed a thrilling five-set comeback in Game 2, winning 22-25, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23, 15-10 to seal the championship.
This victory marks their fourth SSL title since the league's revival in 2022 and continues a season sweep streak, mirroring their achievement in the National Invitationals Davao Leg last August.
Team captain Vange Alinsug and Tournament MVP Lams Lamina were instrumental in the championship run.
Head coach Regine Diego, in her first crown with NU, emphasized the importance of teamwork following the significant losses of players like Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon.
