V-League: Tubu lifts Adamson to tough five-setter vs FEU


Jerry Yee notched his second consecutive win of the day after guiding Adamson University to a five-set victory against a pesky Far Eastern University side, 25-21, 24-26, 25-19, 23-25, 15-9 in the 2022 V-League Women’s Collegiate Challenge, Wednesday at the Paco Arena.

Yee led College of St. Benilde to a four-set victory against the University of Sto. Tomas before coaching the Lady Falcons in their Pool A matchup against the Lady Tamaraws.

Trisha Tubu fired 24 points on 19 attacks, three kill blocks, and two service aces while Kate Santiago added 18 points on 15 attacks, two blocks, and an ace on top of 13 excellent digs in the victory.

“Rattled. Shaky, ganun na lang. Shaky yung performance,” said Yee after the game. “I told them hindi tayo mananalo kung rattled tayo o kinakabahan tayo. Yung inaasahan nating plays hindi natin makukuha kung ganun ang laro natin.”

Adamson went on a balanced 8-1 run to start the fifth frame but FEU bounced back quickly and trimmed the deficit to just three, 7-10, after a 6-1 rally kick-started by Julian Monares’ two consecutive points.

Sheena Toring and Santiago scored two quick points off a cross-court hit and a block, respectively, before the latter failed to get the ball across, 12-8.

Toring once again came through for the Lady Falcons, this time with a drop before Lady Tamaraws setter Tin Ubaldo was called for a net violation which put Adamson at match point, 14-8. Monares saved a point for FEU before Santiago closed the game with a kill.

The Lady Falcons had the chance to seal the game during the fourth frame following a huge 10-3 start but were not able to sustain their fine start as Chenie Tagaod, Asis, and Miltzi Paningin stepped up for the Lady Tamaraws to force a decider.

Lucille Almonte contributed 10 points and 11 excellent receptions for Adamson while Toring had 10 .

On the other hand, Monares led the way for FEU with 20 points on 16 attacks and four blocks along with 15 excellent digs.

Asis added 13 points on 11 attacks and two kill blocks while Tagaod had 11 markers and 14 receptions.

Adamson University will go up against San Sebastian College-Recoletos on Wednesday, 1:00 PM while FEU takes on Ateneo de Manila University on the same day at 5:00 PM.
