ATENEO kept a share of the top spot and sealed a twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals with a 25-16, 25-16, 25-18 tour of Adamson in the UAAP Season 78 women’s volleyball tournament on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Two-time reigning MVP Alyssa Valdez led all scorers with 16 points, Amy Ahomiro added 15 and sophomore Jhoana Maraguinot chipped in 12 for the Lady Eagles, who now carry a 10-2 win-loss card for a share of the lead with La Salle.
Valdez, however, was not very pleased with their error-strewn performance —19 miscues in a three-setter.
“We had a not super ok game today, we had a lot of errors, we had miscommunications,” she said. “We have to improve during practices for us to para maging consistent during games.”
