Adamson downed Bacolod Tay Tung, 25-20, 25-5, 25-22, to reign supreme in the 2024 Shakey’s Girls Volleyball Invitational League on Sunday at the Adamson University Gym main court.
Abegail Segui and Lhouriz Tuddao came up big in the third frame while veteran Shaina Nitura kept Adamson together in repelling Bacolod Tay Tung’s attempt to extend the match as the Lady Baby Falcons completed an undefeated run.
“Sinabi ko sa kanila na ang mind set nila i-renew nila when in doubt sila sa mga ginagawa nila. Sabi ko you must put in the right mindset so that magiging maayos ang flow ng ginagalaw ninyo,” said Lady Baby Falcons head coach JP Yude.
Tuddao scored 11 points anchored on an impressive effort at the net with five kill blocks to go with four attacks and two aces for the Lady Baby Falcons, who won their second title this year following a sweep of UAAP Season 86.
Nitura and Segui finished with 10 markers each for Adamson, which found the Bacolod-based squad a tough nut to crack despite a lopsided second set.
Rhose Almendralejo went cold with only seven points for Bacolod Tay Tung, which still surpassed its third place finish in the inaugural edition despite seeing its five-game win streak snapped in the most important match of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Kings’ Montessori School turned back National University-Nazareth School, 25-18, 24-26, 25-23, 25-22, to bag the bronze medal in the country’s premier grassroots volleyball tournament backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Eurotel, Victory Liner, Smart Sports, Mikasa, Team Rebel Sports, Data Project, Genius Sports and Robinsons Malls.
