The three-peat-seeking Tiger Sands bounced back from Saturday’s loss to the Bullpups, improving to 3-1 and tying the Baby Tamaraws for second place.

UP Integrated School notched its first-ever girls’ beach volleyball victory as Janella Guarino and rookie Anya Capus outlasted De La Salle-Zobel’s Aislinn Alemaña and Kylie Celada, 21-15, 21-16.

The Junior Maroons are now tied with the Baby Falcons at 1-3, setting up a crucial match against Adamson on Friday morning to determine the last Final Four spot.

Celada replaced Sabine Valdez for the match, but the lineup adjustment wasn’t enough for the Junior Lady Spikers to avoid a fourth straight loss.
