“The Lady Spikers had 31 errors in the match, most of which from net touch violations and service errors. No wonder service drills will be the focus of their next practice.” (Photo<\/a>: De La Salle University Women’s Volleyball Team<\/a>\/Facebook<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>The De La Salle University (DLSU) Lady Spikers are still the current number one team in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 81 eliminations as they remain unbeaten; the defending champions staying consistent with a four-set win against National University (NU) last Wednesday, February 27 at the Filoil Flying V Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

The set scores ended 25-10, 20-25, 27-25, and 25-22 with May Luna leading the way at 14 points. Teammate Aduke Ogunsanya, on the other hand, got her career high with 13 points off eight attacks, three blocks, and two aces. For NU, Princess Robles and Ivy Lacsina performed, contributing 18 and 16 points respectively. Unfortunately, due to this loss, the Lady Bulldogs now stand 1-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coach Ramil De Jesus of the Lady Spikers reported that he told his players to \u201crespect NU\u201d because the Norman Miguel-led squad showed \u201csuper solid movement\u201d during their last win against University of the East (UE). He elaborated, \u201cTheir sets are very basic, but they know each other better, especially on floor defense. They know what the strength is of each player.\u201d And despite the win of his team, Coach Ramil did not shy away from sharing how he expected more from his players, adding in Filipino, \u201cI always tell my players that when you make a mistake, that\u2019s on you. You can\u2019t blame it on the opponent. Once you leave the service line, everything falls on you. If there was something wrong, we\u2019re the ones responsible for it and not our opponents. That\u2019s where I got frustrated.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The next time the Lady Spikers have the opportunity to extend their winning streak and improve their performance is on Saturday, March 2, as they go head-to-head against the University of the Philippines (UP) Lady Maroons at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The following day, the Lady Bulldogs will have a chance to redeem themselves as they face the Adamson Lady Falcons at the same venue.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
