By: Justine Anne Gaerlan

NATIONAL University Nazareth School secured its second consecutive victory by sweeping Ateneo 25-8, 25-2, 25-6 in the UAAP Season 86 High School Boys’ Volleyball Tournament at the Adamson University Gym on Sunday.

With a stellar offensive performance from Milven Francisco, the Bullpups started strongly in the third frame, embarking on a 6-0 run before an attack error allowed the Blue Eagles to secure their first point.

NUNS continued to extend its lead until pulling away at 22-5. An attack error from the Blue Eagles put the Bullpups at match point, but an off-the-block kill from Ken Nicolas saved Ateneo a match point. A service error from Ron Castros, however, gave NUNS a 25-6 win.

The Bullpups now stand at 2-0, sharing the lead with the Junior Warriors, while Ateneo drops to 0-2.UAAP-86-HSVB-Boys-UE-vs-DLSZ-Charles-Monsuela UAAP 86 HSVB: NUNS, UE cruise to 2-0 slates in boys' action ADMU AdU DLSU FEU News NU UAAP UE Volleyball  - philippine sports news

Powered by efficient passes from setter Andrei Mosuela, the Junior Warriors dominated with a straight-set victory against the De La Salle-Zobel Jr Green Spikers, winning 25-7, 25-7, 25-5.

The Junior Warriors had an excellent start in the final set, scoring five consecutive points with a series of aggressive attacks to take an early lead.

The Adamson Lady Baby Falcons also secured back-to-back wins after claiming a 25-18, 25-12, 25-17 victory against the De La Salle-Zobel Jr. Lady Spikers.

Shaina Nitura shone brightly for the Baby Falcons, spoiling the debut of 6-foot-3 Erin Sotto, the 15-year-old sister of former Ateneo Blue Eaglet Kai, for the Junior Lady Spikers.
