Letran's streak continues, UPHSD ups final four bid in #NCAA100 WVT
After a week-long election break, #NCAA100 volleyball action returned on Friday at the EAC Sports and Cultural Center for the final lap in the elimination round, seeing Perpetual and Letran defeat San Sebastian and Arellano, respectively, in women's volleyball. Just a few games before the tournament's Final Four stage, the top-seeded Letran Lady Knights plowed on with their seventh straight win, while the Perpetual Lady ALTAs were secured a critical victory to bolster their playoff bid. In the first match, the Lady ALTAs downed the Lady Stags in four sets, 25-23, 28-30, 25-16, 25-21, behind Shaila Omipon's 23 points off 21 attacks and 2 aces. After winning a close first set, Perpetual succumbed to San Sebastian's fightback in an even more tightly contested second, but recalibrated their bearings in the third and the fourth sets to take home the victory. The win was the Las Piñas-based squad's ninth of the season against only five losses, which strengthened their hold of fourth place, albeit numerically tied with No. 3-ranked Mapúa. In the second game, top-seeded Letran banked on the record-breaking performance of Bicolano rookie Vanessa Sarie, who exploded for 37 points in the Lady Knights' five-set victory over Arellano, 25-22, 25-19, 23-25, 23-25, 17-16. Sarie's 37 points (35 attacks, 1 block, 1 ace) was not only the Camarines Sur native's career-high, but also an all-time record for most points in a single game in the history of NCAA women's volleyball, beating current San Beda ace Angel Habacon's 36 markers in 2024. The Lady Knights, who have yet to lose in the second round, extended their win streak to seven– improving to a league-leading 13-2 tally– while the final four-seeking Lady Chiefs dropped to 9-6.
