Sports: UPISGVT bows down to NU Lady Bullpups
The UPIS Girls’ Volleyball Team (UPISGVT) drop to 0-10 after getting demolished by the National University (NU) Lady Bullpups, 19-25, 11-25, 10-25, on their tenth game of UAAP Season 82 last October 16 at Paco Arena, Manila.
Bea Lopez, Jeulyanna Ferrer, Kina Dela Cruz, Karla Concepcion, Angela Jackson, Alliah Omar, and Libero Yesha Capistrano went up against the Bullpups’ starters.
The Maroons delivered attack points, taking advantage of the first quarter of the first set. Both teams delivered outstanding receptions but the Lady Bullpups’ performance outweighed the Maroons’, ending the set with 19-25.
It was an error-filled second set for the Maroons but they continued to fight to keep up with NU’s booming attacks but still lost the second set with an even greater deficit from the first, 11-25.
The Maroons continued to struggle with maintaining their defense in the third set. This turned the game into a descending ride for the girls and ending at a 15-point disadvantage, 10-25.
Omar was recorded to be UPISGVT’s Best Scorer of the game, contributing 6 points and 25 assists overall. She and Kyle Mararac were the eldest players in the team for that game with the absence of seniors Trixie Badong and Team Captain Alizia Marquez.
“Noong before the game at nung matapos ang game, actually ang pinakatumatak sa akin na sinabi ng coaches ay 'yung kung matatalo man kami, matatalo kaming lumalaban, hindi 'yung pinamigay lang namin na wala kaming ginawa para ilaban 'yun,” Mararac shares. //by Magan Basilio and Jelena Evangelista
