At the edge of a rehearsal of his collapse on the same stage of last year, the defending champion and the National University of seeded (naked) turned to a simple approach on Saturday – that which his new mentor used in the handle of the pros.
This is what Lady Bulldogs took to prevail during the female season of the UAAP 87 final final final at the Smart Araneta Coliseum while they emptied reverse scan at the expense of the University of Far East (fire), which pushed them at the limit the previous year.
“You really don’t know who was going to prevail. So the state of mind was to simply take things for a while, which is (what we applied) in Creamline,” said head coach Sherwin Menesses shortly after the Triumph 20-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-14, 17-15 Triumph who has gone the need for them sleeve.
“We continued to say that the match will not end in one or two sets. Until the end of the match, we have a chance to fight, and that is what we have shown – we really worked in the third to the fifth set,” said the skipper Bella Belen, who grew the nude return machine with 24 points with 14 excavations and 10 receptions.
“I had a huge confidence in my teammates that we could win a match, whatever the scoring, whatever the set,” she continued.
Alyssa Salomon, Vange Alinsug and Chams Maaya harvested their own two -digit outputs, keeping the Lady Tamaraws at hand while the game advanced.
“I’m really happy that we fought all this until the fifth set,” said Alinsug, who led 15 attacks to go with his eight excavations and 14 receptions.
“When the scores were getting closer, we continued to excite each other, saying that it would feel even better if we win this victory.”
Faida Bakanke showed the fire way with his 15 points, while Gerz Petallo delivered 13 excavations and 14 receptions. But they had very few answers to the Lady Bulldogs, who brought things up halfway from the competition, painful to reach a familiar place. A better.
“I always remind them: there are no two points. No three points. No victory instantly of three sets,” said Menesses, a multi-tied coach in the first volleyball league.
“This is also what I tell them at each training session: their competitiveness should come from taking at a time at a time, one stop at a time.”
