UAAP 86 Beach Volleyball: UST’s Varga-Gupiteo duo continue to dominate


Men’s titleholders University of Santo Tomas improved to 3-0 and has yet to drop a set in the season after reigning MVP Rancel Varga and Alche Gupiteo swept Far Eastern University’s Vincent Nadera and JJ Javelona, 21-19, 21-14, Saturday in the UAAP Season 86 beach volleyball tournament at Sands SM By The Bay.

National University also remained perfect at 3-0, but James Buytrago and Alex Iraya had to recover from a opening set defeat to outlast Ateneo’s Jian Salarzon and Amil Pacinio, 17-21, 21-14, 15-8.

Salarzon and Pacinio, who defeated Casas and Gutierrez, 21-10, 21-13, to enter the win column, fell to 1-2.

The Tamaraws barged into the win column after repulsing the Red Warriors, 21-12, 21-8, in the afternoon session.
