NU fends off UP to begin UAAP women’s volleyball second round
The National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs defeated the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons in four sets, 25-21, 30-32, 25-17, 25-19, to open the second round of the UAAP season.
This victory marks a continued dominance of NU over UP, who were looking to build momentum from their previous win.
Vange Alinsug led NU with 24 points, including 20 attacks and three aces, while former MVP Bella Belen contributed 21 points.
The win also served as a bounce-back for NU after a recent loss to De La Salle University.
Bella Belen acknowledged a slow start for her team, possibly due to inadequate warm-up, but expressed confidence in the team's overall performance.
