One school emerged on top of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Season 100 volleyball tournament nearing the end of the first round.

College of Saint Benilde’s Wielyn Estoque and Rocky Roy Motol took matters into their own hands in the women’s and men’s divisions to help their respective squads cruise to an unbeaten week approaching the crucial second round.

With their reliable and consistent showing for the Blazers for the period of 27 to 29 March, Estoque and Motol earned themselves the Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Players of the Week nod presented by the Philippine Sports Commission.

Following their early stumble this season that came at the hands of the Letran Lady Knights, the Lady Blazers have gone on a four-game winning spree for a 7-1 slate after back-to-back commanding victories.

The 23-year-old Estoque delivered 13 points highlighted by 10 attacks as Saint Benilde hardly broke a sweat against the skidding Emilio Aguinaldo College for a 25-14, 25-12, 25-13 win.

She followed it up with a huge 17-point outing off 14 attacks as the Lady Blazers made quick work of University of Perpetual Help System Dalta, 25-16, 25-22, 25-18, to solidify their hold of the top spot.

Estoque came out on top of Vanessa Sarie of Letran, Laika Tudlasan of Arellano University, and Kath Santos of San Sebastian College for the weekly honors deliberated by print and online media covering the collegiate beat.

“Now we’re ready to fight. We’re fighting with heart. My main motivation is to see my teammates fighting,” Estoque said.

“We don’t mind whenever we commit an error. We just move on and play hard so that we don’t get left behind.”

Over at the men’s side, the 21-year-old Motol might be the new beating heart of the Benilde Blazers’ attack line after back-to-back superb performances to help his side remain undefeated with an 8-0 record.
