MANILA, Philippines - Adamson University banked heavily on veterans Paulina Soriano and Angela Benting to turn back upset-conscious University of the Philippines, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22, yesterday in the UAAP Season 73 women’s volleyball tournament at the Arena.

Soriano and Benting scored 17 and 12 points, respectively, combining for 27 hits which were just two short of the Lady Maroons’ 29 total kills, as the Lady Falcons stayed in third spot with 7-4.

Shiela Pineda also punched in 12 for the Lady Falcons, who scored their second straight win after yielding a sorry five-setter to lightweight Far Eastern U last Jan. 22.

“We have already recovered from our previous losses, especially that one to FEU, and we promised our fans that they will see a different Lady Falcons team,” Soriano said in Filipino.

Angeli Araneta led the way with 12 markers for UP, which failed to gain momentum from their giant upset over defending champion University of Santo Tomas last Wednesday. The Lady Maroons dropped to 2-9.

Meanwhile, National U rocked the men’s side as the Bulldogs upended De La Salle U in five gruelling sets, 29-27, 24-26, 20-25, 25-23, 15-13.

Coming into the game sharing the cellar with University of the East, the Bulldogs played like a contender against the third-running Green Archers in their two-hour, nine-minute encounter en route to notching only their second win against nine losses.

The Green Archers slipped to 7-4 behind unbeaten FEU (11-0) and UST (10-1), their bid for a top 2 spot in the Final Four stymied.

In the other men’s match, UP improved to 6-5 via a 25-18, 25-23, 25-14 dispatching of cellar-dwelling UE (1-10).
