Junior Lady Altas bounce back, nail 2nd seat in finals

THE DEFENDING champion Perpetual Help Junior Lady Altas showed composure and dominated its do-or-die game in the semifinals against the Lyceum of the Philippines University Baby Pirates, 25-18, 25-22, 25-20, on Monday in the National Collegiate Athletic Association volleyball tournament at the Arellano University Gym in Legarda, Manila.

Coach Sandy Rieta’s players showed their desire to bounce back from a disappointing 5-set loss in Game 1 ( 23-25, 18-25, 25-16, 25-18, 12-15) of the semis last Wednesday as team captain Jamaica San Juan led the way with the opening point (service ace) to open the game on a high note.

Sherrie Rose Acosta led the Junior Lady Altas with a game-high 21 points (19 from attack points, one each from block and service ace).

Jaja San Juan and Maya Javier contributed 9 points each, while Isabel Baser contributed 6 points, 4 of which were from blocks.

“Sabi ko sa kanila before the game, stay focused, kalimutan na ‘yung pagkatalo sa Game 1 at na-execute naman nila ang mga plays namin,” Rieta said

Aleah Mae Alipan led the way for LPU GenTri with 9 points, while Gellian Leo added 7 points.

The defending champion Lady Altalettes will face the Arellano Baby Chiefs once again in the Best of Three Finals starting on May 30, at 8 a.m. at the FilOil Arena in San Juan.

The Junior Altas Spikers and Letran Squires will face off in the Junior Boys Championship on the same play date at 5 p.m.
