National U stepped up its drive for a title repeat, wiping out Pool E capped by a 25-17, 25-22, 25-13 win over Arellano in the Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Collegiate Pre-Season Championship Season 2 playoffs on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.
The reigning champions met little to no resistance from the Lady Chiefs in pocketing the win in only 80 minutes of play for a 6-0 record heading into the quarterfinals as Pool E’s No. 1 seed.
Against the Lady Chiefs, all players hit the scoring board for the Lady Bulldogs led by Evangeline Alinsug with 14 points on 13 hits. “Going into the quarterfinals then semifinals, nandiyan na yung top teams. Patawid na kami sa kabilang bracket,” said returning coach Norman Miguel. “Ang goal talaga namin is to reach the finals and get the championship.”
NU, the UAAP Season 84 champion and Season 85 runner-up, stamped its class over the NCAA bet by posting double-digit leads in the two convincing sets, save for a closer second-set duel it won by only three points.
