In a nail-biting contest, the Fighting Maroons averted disaster against the Letran Lady Knights, winning 17-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-23 to even their slate in Pool C.

Kassandra Doering was instrumental in the victory, leading her team with 16 points, including nine attacks and seven blocks.

Her performance was complemented by Joan Monares and Nina Ytang, who contributed 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The Maroons imposed their length over the Lady Knights during critical moments of the match.

Jelai Gajero added nine markers while Yesha Rojo chipped in eight.

Despite missing their key player, Casiey Dongallo, who underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection in her right arm, UE rallied together.

“People stepped up with Casiey out. Our first six and second six scoring-wise did well. Set-wise, we won three straight, but I feel like we still have a lot more skills to stretch, to work with, and improve,” remarked Lady Warriors head coach Doc Obet Vital.

For the Lady Cardinals, Alyanna Ong and Nadine Berces were the leading scorers, finishing with six points each.

In a similar vein, Johna Dolorito contributed eight points while Joann De Guzman added seven in a losing effort for the Lady Pirates.

Despite their setbacks, the Lady Knights saw strong individual performances from Gia Maquilang, who scored 18 points, and Sheena Sarie, who added 14.
