On Focus PAYBACK TIME FOR FEU


FEU Lady Tams

It's payback time.
This is what Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws is aiming for as they battle bitter rival University of Sto. Tomas Tigresses 4:00 pm in the quarterfinals initial kickoff of the Shakey's V-league at The Arena in San Juan City.

The Lady Tams has absorbed a heartbreaking loss against the Tigresses who fought back from a seven-point deficit in the 4th set of their elimination round duel and snatched the game.

FEU will rely on their fatal four- Rachel Daquis, Macaila Morada, Cherry Vivas and Shaira Gonzales while leading the pact are guest players Mayette Carolino and Tina Salak.

It will also be a faceoff between the Carolino sisters as Michelle Carolino fronts the attack of UST Lady Tigresses along side with no.4 top scorer Jean Balse. Backing them up will be captain Aiza Maizo, Maika Ortiz, Bernice Co and Rhea Dimaculangan.

In the first game, provincial team USJ-R Lady Jaguars will test their power against powerhouse San Sebastian Lady Stags at 2 pm.

"Captain Ice"



Silent but deadly!

Venus Bernal is gone and it's over for UST.

Wait... Think again!

Aiza Maizo is out to prove you all wrong. She maybe underrated as what some folks would describe her presence but you should know that this gal is just a silent operator. She has once made the top lists of the best scorers and best blockers in the UAAP Volleyball tournament.

Maizo is a southpaw. So better be ready to defend because a southpaw can be a deadly threat. She can bury you down when she winds up for a kill. This hard hitting captain has so much to offer- and you haven't seen more yet.

Brick by brick she's building the empire of University of Sto. Tomas Tigresses that whoever will try to blight, better have a second thought. Just like a timed bomb- she can explode when you least expect.

Roar Captain, roar!

SKETCHPAD

It's Quarterfinals folks! Your team has come this far. They must stay focus and determine if they want to get that championship.

Below are my personal insights. Take it or leave. It's up to you.

ADAMSON UNIVERSITY LADY FALCONS
- More set variations from Joan Botor-Carpio.
- make Nerissa Bautista a steady threat.
- more quicks from Sang Laguilles.
- floor defense is necessary.

FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY LADY TAMS
- Mayette Carolino must stay consistent on floor defense. More setplays for her.
- make the most of Tina Salak's excellent sets.
- power control from Cherry May Vivas.
- don't be overconfident when leading the scoreboard.
- Macaila Morada, Shaira Gonzales and Rachel Daquis must stay deadly in offense.

SAN SEBASTIAN COLLEGE LADY STAGS
- do not rely too much on Jeng Bualee.
- Suzanne Roces must step up.
- Laurence Latigay and Sasa Devanadera must stay on target.

UNIVERSITY OF STO. TOMAS LADY TIGRESSES
- improve reception.
- capitalize on Michelle Carolino.
- give Aiza Maizo more plays.
- Rhea Dimaculangan must stay in shape.
- maximize Mary Jean Balse.

Here you go. I hope it helps. Goodluck gals!

Pau Soriano made a powerful kill as Adamson University Lady Falcons rallied from a 3-point deficit in the 5th set to dump Ateneo De Manila University Lady Blue Eagles, 23-25, 25-18, 26-24, 20-25, 15-11, in their sudden-death playoff sunday.

MVP Nerissa Bautista had 26 points including 20 kills and Sang Laguilles fired 17 hits to lead Adamson spoil the 11-7 advantage of the Lady Eagles in the final set and clinch the last quarterfinals berth.

Ateneo seemed to have it going on their way as they won the first set but fumbled in the next two canto and has to force a final set.

Thai guest player Keawbundit Sontaya was formidable with 24 hits to lead Ateneo. Rosario Soriano has 20 points including 15 attacks.

It was the most important win for Adamson as they restore their hopes for defending the crown. They will join Far Eastern University, University of Sto. Tomas, San Sebastian College and the two provincial teams- St. La Salle-Bacolod and San Jose Recoletos in the single round robin quarterfinals.

Pau Soriano and Jill Gustilo had 13 points apiece for Adamson.

May 17, 2009
2pm at The Arena in San Juan

Defending champion Adamson University Lady Falcons will try to regain its supremacy in the Shakey's V-league Season 6 1st Conference.

The Lady Falcons struggle in the entire elimination round and find themselves in a situation wherein they must win in order to stay alive and advance to the quarterfinals.
On the other hand, Ateneo Lady Eagles will try to snatch that hope and avenge their loss to Adamson in the opening showdown of the league.

With Nerissa Bautista back on track, the Adamson squad will be a tough opponent. But Ateneo, which showed determination in their last outings will surely rely on her superpowers like Charo Soriano, rookie Gretchen Ho, Fille Saint Cainglet, Kara Acevedo and versatile guest player Keawbundit Sontaya.

There'll be no tomorrow. Only one team will stand. Who will that be?

She's not the NCAA MVP for nothing.

A defensive team like San Sebastian College is a tough wall to break. How much more when its key players are too much to handle?

Take Laurence Ann Latigay.

In every game, Laurence seems unstoppable. She can finish you with a pithy kill. It's not a surprise that this NCAA pride can dominate the toplist of greatness the v-league has ever produced.

Along with superblocker Rysabelle Devanadera and superb playmaker Vernon Ancheta, Latigay is a commanding force. That when everytime the victory seems to be slipping away from them, she rises up to silence the opposing power. And that's what best players are made of- heart and perseverance.

No one can deny that San Sebastian College is always a sure contender for the crown, with the "Silencer" on the wheel the Lady Stags can drive to primacy.

Strike on Stags!

Defense is offense!

The De La Salle University Lady Spikers have struggled in the last conferences with the departures of Michelle Carolino, Maureen Penetrante, Desiree Hernandez, Carla Llaguno and Chi Saet. Manilla Santos then must come up stronger.

But it was never the same DLSU squad we've known. They always come up short of the title stint. But still, they were the team to beat.

In those trying times, La Salle brought Stephanie Mercado on the attack and Jacq Alarca covering the fortress. Still, it wasn't enough. A hole was yet to be covered.

Then came Michelle Datuin, but she evinced to be just a pretty face. She's a shuddering post. But seeing the expectations, she dares herself to prove that she has something to offer. With the confidence her teammates have given her, she pushed herself to the limit- and it's worth it. Hastening her attacks with wit and hardening her blocking skills. Now, DLSU has redeemed its power.

Recently, they captured the UAAP crown when they dethroned the defending champions FEU Lady Tams in a dramatic fashion. Coming back from a loss in the first game, they snatch the remainings in their best-of-3 series.

And Datuin has shown what defense can do.

Along with superspiker Stephanie Mercado, Cha Cruz and UAAP top blocker Jacq Alarca, Michelle Datuin is DLSU's lethal weapon.

Animo La Salle!

Don't blink! You might miss something.

Beauty and brain. Philippine Volleyball has a lot of them. Here's one.

Shaira Gonzales is a sophomore. Now what? Well, she's hot. I mean, she's dangerous when she gets hot during a game.

Adding up to the already superb Far Eastern University Lady Tams' roster, Shaira is a hard hitter that can whip the ball as fast as you blink. So don't blink when she's up for a spike. You'll miss it.

This middle stunner takes no much effort in hitting the ball. She seems to know just where to put the points. Gone were the days when she was so shy to even tap a hit.

With a total package in her, Shaira Gonzales is the player to crave for.

With Rachel Ann Daquis and Maica Morada on her sides, "The Force" is about to make it big for the Lady Tams.

May the force be with you FEU!

Supergirl... Double time!

With all the struggles that the Letran Lady Knights are facing, a leader must not quiver.

It is the task that Bangladesh Pantaleon must carry on her shoulders.

With her booming superspikes, consistent receives and hard-fought blocking skills - Bangladesh means business.

Armed with determination, the 5 foot Lady Knight digs her team through a needle hole - and gaining momentum.

The Letran Lady Knights have struggled in the V-league and winning was farfetched in their last participations.

Young guns as they were associated, they were assumed as underdogs. But said, a heart of a wounded soldier couldn't be shattered that easy. Indeed, the Lady Knights stand firm. Bangladesh, with Cindy Octana, Mary Grace Burce and Joy Cases, leads her squad and teaches them what a determined heart should be - never say die!

And this is the Lady Knights' permission to shine!

Make way for the Saint!

Perhaps when you see the Ateneo De Manila University Lady Eagles at the courts you'll probably miss Pat Taganas and Carla Bello.

It will never be the same again.

The ADMU squad has struggled without Charo Soriano in the UAAP Volleyball League who was the heart and soul of their reign. Bea Pascual then had shouldered the spot. And she's doing a good job. But still, a "missing link" shuddered their campaign.

But as always, prayers were answered. Heaven has sent his saint.

Indeed, as her name denotes, Fille Saint Cainglet responsed. Coming off from being an average player, she proves both to the fans and the critics that she's not just another pretty face but a true gunner.

Her spikes dart like an eagle surging fearlessly. She delivers when the time calls for it. Attack or defense, name it she got it.

Along side with marquee hitters Gretchen Ho and Jam Ferrer, and the comebacking force, Ma. Rosario Soriano in the V-league, Cainglet provides a vital power to the roster.

Yes, it will never be the same again... It's just getting better.

Hail to the Saint!

Serene, innocent, humble - the words you probably say when you first lay an eye to on her. Yes, indeed. But wait. There's something more. See her eyes? Remember the fastest woman in the world- Lydia De Vega? Alas! She's the daughter of the great living legend. Now, wonder no more to whom she was made of.

This DLSU standout can boom a spike faster than a speeding arrow and more powerful than a baseball player's swing.

Huh.

She has a dig that will remind you of leila Barros, the main gunner of the powerhouse Brasil team in the 90's. And of course, isn't she the making of another Michelle Carolino?

Paning, as she's fondly called by her friends, is the top attacker of DLSU. She's the high-leaping junior that knuckles down the ball in a quick trigger. And that made her one of the most dangerous attacker. Her spike has a strong spin at the end. So better have a steady arms when you're trying to dig her shot.

With a superspiker in Mercado, the De la Salle Lady Spikers are out to conquer the courts.

Watch out people... Here come the champions!
Animo La Salle!
