St. Benilde spikers face Cardinals

MANILA, Philippines — College of St. Benilde triest to sustain one of its best performances in the NCAA as it clashes with an equally tough Mapua University in today’s Season 97 women’s volleyball at the Paco Arena.

After four impressive victories, the Lady Blazers have shown they are capable of gaining a crack at their second championship after their breakthrough triumph seven years back.

And their numbers speak for themselves as they either lead or are in the top three in statistical categories like spiking (first), blocking (third), digging (second), setting (first) and receiving (first).

Against the Lady Cardinals, who have dangerously lurked behind the league’s big guns with a solid 3-1 card, CSB coach Jerry Yee warned his charges they must come prepared and ready.
