Frelwin Taculog delivers with double-double as EAC sweeps LPU

NCAA By BEA MICALLER,GMA Integrated News Frelwin Taculog continued to be the bright spot in Emilio Aguinaldo College's tough journey in NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball, steering his side to a morale-boosting 25-21, 25-21, 25-21 win over Lyceum of the Philippines University on Sunday at the EAC Sports and Cultural Center in Manila. The 22-year-old outside spiker delivered with a double-double outing of 17 points anchored on 14 attacks, two blocks, and one ace together with 22 receptions as the Generals improved to 5-10. Despite the win, though, EAC, last year's runner-up, is already out of contention. Still, the Generals are making sure to give their best in every game. That was the case against the Pirates, where EAC didn't leave any stone unturned as they shattered a 6-all deadlock with Taculog capping a 7-3 rampage with a strong ace, giving the Generals a 13-9 cushion. Joshua Olivo then smashed one from the left wing to make it a 16-12 advantage before EAC's net defense punished LPU after Taculog secured a rejection to extend their lead to 20-15. Middle blocker Michael Gela then notched two consecutive blocks to deliver the match point at 24-20 before Jun Edang provided some life to the struggling LPU, 21-24. Olivo's cross-court attack was initially called beyond the line, but a ball in/ball out challenge by the Generals was called successful as EAC completed the sweep win. Olivo and Gela both tallied 13 points while Kenenth Catiancila chipped in eight markers. Edang, who missed their previous game against San Beda, returned and led the way for LPU with 19 points and four digs. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
