THE in-form De La Salle Lady Spikers only needed three sets to dispatch a struggling University of the Philippines side, 25-14, 25-20, 25-14, in the UAAP Season 85 women's volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Unlike its thrilling five-set win over UST last Sunday, the Taft-based squad took control from the get-go and never let up as UP was unable to handle the explosive attacks of Angel Canino and the rest of the Lady Spikers.
