National University Nazareth School (NUNS) secured their first Shakey's Girls Volleyball Invitational League (SGVIL) Rising Stars Cup title after a five-set championship match against Bacolod Tay Tung High School.

The Lady Bullpups won with set scores of 27-25, 16-25, 21-25, 30-28, and 15-13, achieving a comeback after trailing 1-2 in sets.

This victory adds to NUNS' already impressive year, following their championships in UAAP Season 87 and the Palarong Pambansa.

Tournament MVP Samantha Cantada and Denesse Daylisan were key offensive players, each contributing 21 points to the team's win.

Coach Karl Dimaculangan highlighted the significance of the win, especially for the graduating players who ended their collegiate careers as champions.

The championship match, held at La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong City, was a battle of nerves, with Bacolod Tay Tung committing crucial errors in the deciding sets.

Rhose Almendralejo of Bacolod Tay Tung had set a league record with 35 points, but ultimately could not secure the win for her team.
