NCAA champion College of St. Benilde (CSB) routed University of the East (UE) in the battle of coach Jerry Yee’s teams while University of Santo Tomas scored a quick bounce-back win over Arellano University in the Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Collegiate Pre-Season Championship playoffs yesterday (Oct. 15)  at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.

Behind a scattered attack, Lady Blazers made short work of the Lady Warriors in only 68 minutes, 25-18, 25-21, 25-4, as the Golden Tigresses avenged their first loss against National University (NU) with a 25-16, 31-29, 25-18 win over the Lady Chiefs.

University of Santo Tomas claimed solo second in Pool E with a 4-1 record with St. Benilde tying Adamson University for the No. 2 seed in Pool F at 3-1. NU (4-0) and Far Eastern University (4-0) lead Pools E and F, respectively.

Angeline Poyos (12) and Regina Jurado (7) provided coverage for the wards of coach Kungfu Reyes.

Earlier, Zamantha Nolasco and Jade Gentapa cashed in 12 and 11 points, respectively, to show the way for the Lady Blazers, who were mentored by Mr. Yee against his fellow squad in the Lady Warriors.

Mr. Yee’s deputy coach Dr. Obet Vital called the shots for UE.

Arellano University, which stunned Ateneo de Manila University on Saturday night with an impressive straight-sets win, slid to 3-2 in Pool E as UE fell to 2-2 in Pool F. — John Bryan Ulanday
