Perpetual bags 2nd straight win

University of Perpetual Help booked its second straight win after posting a 25-21, 22-25, 25-21, 25-19 victory over Mapua University in Season 101 National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s volleyball tournament yesterday at the San Andres Gym in Manila.

The Altas leaned on their balanced attack with four players combining for 58 points to sustain its momentum with their second consecutive victory after dropping their first two matches.

Perpetual coach Macky Cariño said they dedicate their win to their late coach Sammy Acaylar, who would have turned 62 on Thursday.

“Hopefully, we’ll have more good games and continue to improve,” said Cariño, a longtime protégé of the late national team mentor.

Khian Andres led the scoring parade, firing 17 points while John Castil chipped in 16 markers and four digs for the Altas, who drew 14 points from Jester Bornel and 11 points with 18 receptions from Marc Tangon.

Meanwhile, Klint Mateo also provided support as he recorded seven pts, two blocks and 26 excellent sets in 91 attempts while libero Nash Abenoja had 14 excellent receptions and seven digs.
