After a rocky start in the opening weekend, the University of the Philippines Lady Maroons kept their bid for a shot at the UAAP Season 77 women’s beach volleyball trophy alive, routing the Ateneo Lady Eagles in three sets, 21-16, 14-21, and 15-10.
UP’s Arylle Magtalas and Hannah Mangulabnan staved off a late rally by Ateneo’s Michelle Morente and Jho Maraguinot, suiting once more in place of regular Alyssa Valdez. A barrage of service aces by Morente would boost Ateneo to an early lead in the second and gain momentum to rally for a 21-14 set to force a third set. The Ateneo spikers however began to lose steam in the deciding quarter. Continuous errors would pile on the points for UP, who would escape with the set, 15-10.
