University of Perpetual Help System DALTA turned to Jeff Marapoc's crisp hitting in a cakewalk, 25-14, 25-17, 25-22, win over San Beda University to stay unbeaten in the V-League Men's Collegiate Challenge yesterday at the Paco Arena in Manila.
Marapoc hogged the spotlight in the reigning National Collegiate Athletic Association champions' second straight win in as many games for the solo lead with his 13 points off a 13-of-29 spiking clip.
The open spiker also had nine excellent receptions in his all-around performance for the Altas, who are on a roll despite missing the services of reigning NCAA Most Valuable Player Louie Ramirez currently in Japan to train with Japanese club Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler.
Perpetual also got nine points from Kobe Tabuga and combined 11 points from Klint Mateo and KC Andare.
"I'm happy we're doing great although we're missing Louie Ramirez. It's good to see that the team plays as one and is not looking at those who are not here. They are working really hard and solidly," Altas coach Sammy Acaylar said.
But the former national team mentor felt his wards could've done better especially in the third set when the Red Spikers despite fielding mostly off the bench players kept the game close.
