MANILA, Philippines — The De La Salle Lady Spikers dominated the Ateneo Blue Eagles, 25-13, 25-12, 25-18, at the FilOil EcoOil Center Saturday noon to secure the top seed in the UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball tournament.
Beating Ateneo for the 18th straight match spanning the last nine seasons, La Salle stayed undefeated at 12-0 to shut down the chances of the second-running National University Lady Bulldogs from taking the top spot.
Sporting an 8-3 record at press time, the defending champs Lady Bulldogs can only win 11 games at max.
Angel Canino pumped 15 points and nine excellent receptions to lead the Lady Spikers, who kept their elimination round sweep bid alive with two games left on their schedule.
La Salle faces University of the East on April 15 and NU on April 22.
The already-eliminated and seventh-running Ateneo dropped to 1-11.
