AdU WVT wraps prelims at 6-1 with San Beda rout
The Adamson Lady Falcons stamped authority atop standings, sweeping the San Beda Lady Red Spikers, 26-24, 25-19, 25-19, in the V-League Collegiate Challenge yesterday, at the Gameville Central Park.
Frances Mordi powered through with 17 points, while Joy Aseo brought in 12 kills and an ace, with Third Tuddao and Kamille Dionisio contributing nine and eight markers, respectively.
Right off the bat, the two teams went neck-to-neck before the Lady Falcons hit the stride to establish a four-point cushion.
Despite San Beda’s retaliation efforts, combined power hits by Mordi and Aseo halted a deuce-forcing rally to secure the set, 26-24.
Sophomore Aseo, alongside Third Tuddao, fired up sharp attacks in the frontline, maintaining advantage to 25-19, closing another frame in their favor.
In the decisive set, Adamson denied San Beda's attempts to capitalize unforced errors, fortifying collective team effort toward a 25-19 victory sweep.
Hailed Player of the Game, Frances Mordi, shared how persistent teamwork under pressure led to their victory.
"[It] was the team effort [and] working together even in the pressured moments. We really appreciate the coaches [...] because they keep telling us to always help each other, and we did, and it's something we are happy about," Mordi said.
Moreover, Adamson head coach JP Yude looked forward to semifinals, emphasizing improvements in passing, service consistency, and overall skills.
Now eyeing a two-peat championship title, the Adamson Lady Falcons will hunt down the UE Lady Warriors for a finals berth, tomorrow, at the same venue.
