Arellano thinks fatigue big factor in San Beda’s surprise collapse

It could’ve been a preview of the finals in the NCAA Season 93 women’s volleyball tournament, but it turned out into a be a stroll for Arellano University.

The defending champion took the easy route in its three-set sweep of San Beda, 25-17, 25-10, 25-17, Friday at Filoil Flying V Centre and the team’s two most influential figures had an idea why the Lady Red Spikers folded so easily.


Both head coach Obet Javier and Jovielyn Prado said fatigue might have been the determining factor in their quick win.

“We we’re surprised because we know they are fully capable of defeating teams in straight sets,” said Prado in Filipino. “Maybe fatigue eventually caught up to them.”

Of the Lady Red Spikers’ six games, three have been decided on five sets and their last two games both went the full five.
