MANILA, Philippines — Letran coach Oliver Almadro travelled to Bicol to scrape for some diamonds in the rough. He may have found one in Sheena Sarie.

The tall, big-hitting middle blocker from Naga Colleges in Camarines Sur showed Almadro she’s worth his time and debuted with a bang in powering the Lady Knights to a 28-26, 25-22, 11-25, 25-22 win over the Jose Rizal U Lady Bombers yesterday in NCAA Season 100 women’s volleyball at the San Sebastian College Gym.

Sarie dropped a match-high 22-point performance that she laced with 21 kills to lift Letran to its first win while setting in motion its ambitious bid to surpass its runner-up finish a season ago.

Nizelle Martin scattered 17 hits while Judiel Marie Nitura contributed 16 points in helping the cause.

Earlier, Letran smashed JRU, 25-19, 25-15, 25-18, in the men’s section to likewise jumpstart its bid.

In the only other women’s match, San Sebastian bested Mapua, 25-18, 25-19, 20-25, 25-21, to also bare its title intention.
