DLSU Lady Spikers bag Championship for UAAP Season 79 Volleyball Games

After an exciting and breathtaking 5-setter Game 2 for the Finals of the UAAP Volleyball Games, the De La Salle Lady Spikers emerged victorious and proved to be the more powerful team over its opponent, the Ateneo Lady Eagles.   

Game 2 started rather slow for the Lady Spikers as the first set was taken by the ALE, whose attacks and floor defense got better compared to their first encounter.  During the second set,  the multi-awarded setter-captain of the DLSU, Kim Fajardo, threw 9 service aces at the ALE and it became an uphill climb from there. The ALE never outscored the Spikers and the Spikers ran away with the second set in a 14-25 result.  

The 3rd set swung back to the ALE's favor again, as their floor and net defense worked to their advantage and the score registered at 19-25, giving the second win for this game to the ALEs.


ALE fans were hoping that the ALE will win the 4th set  to extend the finals to a tiebreaker, unfortunately, error after error from the main guns of the ALE tipped the scale to the Lady Spikers' favor, thus the 18-25 score.

The 5th and deciding set became a test of willpower for the ALE, but the Lady Spikers were just determined to defend the crown. The ALEs attacks were few and far between; in the end the Lady Spikers mental toughness and stronger net defense lead by Majoy Baron, season MVP and Aduke Ogunsanya, DLSU's alternate middle blocker, took over.  The 5th set's score was a wide 10-15, in favor of the Lady Spikers.   This is the 10th Championship title for the DLSUWVT.   


Congrats, Ladies.
