Arellano sweeps San Beda for Group B lead

MANILA, Philippines -- Reigning NCAA titlist Arellano University put on a late charge in the second set then took control early in the third to fashion out a 25-22, 25-21, 25-18 victory over San Beda College and seize the Group B lead in the Premier Volleyball League Collegiate Conference at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan on Wednesday.

Jovielyn Prado improved upon her 14-point game during Arellano's straight sets win over De La Salle-College of St. Benilde last Saturday, as she scored 16 points this time around to lead the Lady Chiefs' assault.

Regine Arocha also unloaded 13 hits for the Lady Chiefs, which also held San Beda ace Cesca Racraquin to just nine points after the former Creamline hitter unleashed a 19-point game in their four-set win over Technological Institute of the Philippines

“We worked on our defense,” said Arellano coach Obet Javier, whose wards also avenged their Founders’ Cup setback to the same San Beda team last July.

Prado, toughened up by her stint with the Power Smashers in the recent Open Conference of the league, unleashed 11 attack points and came through with three aces and two blocks.
