University of Perpetual Help, an up-and-coming team from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, has served notice of its title aspirations in the Shakey’s V-League Season 8. The Lady Altas outplayed the National University Lady Bulldogs, 25-18, 25-17, 25-17 Sunday at The Arena in San Juan.
April Anne Sartin, one of the two players who violated the NCAA ruling for playing in another tournament while the season is ongoing, scored 15 hits as she led the Lady Altas in sweeping the Lady Bulldogs for their first win.
“Alam n'yo naman yung nangyari sa amin sa NCAA, kaya parang ipinakita lang ng mga players ko at pinatunayan na kaya naming mag-champion sa NCAA," said Perpetual Help coach Mike Rafael.
NU, which is now playing without former team skipper Mervic Mangui, was outhit by Perpetual, 43-28, a sign the Lady Bulldogs were terribly missing the services of their most dependable player.
Former UST player Dindin Santiago topscored for the Lady Bulldogs with 10 points followed by another transferee, Monique Tiangco with nine markers.
