NU snaps 5-game skid against La Salle

MANILA, Philippines: The NU Lady Bulldogs snapped their five-game losing skid to the De La Salle Lady Spikers with a 22-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-22 win in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday, April 14.

Vangie Alinsug banged 22 points, 10 excellent digs, and five receptions to lead NU, which got swept by last year's finals tormentor La Salle in all of Season 85 and in the first round this Season 86.

The Lady Spikers, however, were not at full strength as reigning MVP Angel Canino did not play in the match, missing her third straight game.

Bella Belen pumped 14 points, 14 receptions, and seven digs for NU, which ended La Salle's 7-game winning run and rose from third place to the top spot with a 10-2 record with 30 points.

UST also sports a 10-2 slate but has 28 points only.

Shevana Laput amassed 21 points for the defending champs Lady Spikers, who dropped to 9-2 with 26 points, third best in the league.
