    UNIVERSITY of the Philippines completed the Premier Volleyball League Collegiate Conference semifinal cast, eliminating San Beda, 25-19, 26-16, 25-9, on Sunday at The Arena in San Juan.

    Isa Molde led the way for the Lady Maroons with 19 points and 16 digs, while Marian Buitre added 10 markers and 11 digs.

    UP coach Godfrey Okumu admitted that they didn’t expect much but he’s happy to make it to the next round.

    “We knew we had a slim chance of making it into the semis,” he shared.

    “We talked about this game and the only thing I said is we try to play like it’s our final game because we made a lot of mistakes the last few games,” he added.

    UP (4-3) joins top seed Adamson University, University of Sto. Tomas and Far Eastern University in the next phase.

    The Lady Maroons face the Lady Falcons in the best-of-three semifinals starting on Wednesday.

    Nieza Viray had six points for SBU, which wound up with a 2-5 win-loss record.
