V.League: Jaja Santiago, Saitama suffer third straight loss at hands of PFU


Saitama absorbed its third straight defeat after bowing to PFU, 23-25, 23-25, 20-25, in the 2021-22 Japan V.League Division 1 women’s tournament at Komatsu General Gymnasium in Ishikawa, Saturday afternoon.

Jaja Santiago was efficient in the losing cause, going 10-of-16 in her spikes, good for 62.5 percent. She also added a block to finish with 11 points.

Ageo Medics opened the tournament with back-to-back dominant wins against Okayama but has yet to win since, falling to 2-3.
