Lady Tams repulse Lady Altas

MANILA, Philippines — Far Eastern U relied on defense to overcome its offensive flaws, foiling Perpetual Help, 28-26, 17-25, 25-17, 25-13, to notch its second straight victory in the V-League Women’s Collegiate Challenge at the Paco Arena in Manila yesterday.

The Lady Tamaraws came through with 19 blocks with Chenie Tagaod, Mitzi Panangin and Jazlyn Ellarina combining for 10. Tagaod also flourished in attack with 12 kills for a 16-point output while Panangin produced eight kills for a 12-point showing.

Ellarina, a former National U mainstay, finished with nine points, including two blocks.
