UST vs SSC-R

Give me a second to catch my breath..whew! That was one hell of a game from the 2 of the best volleyball teams here in the country, University of Santo Tomas Lady Tigers and San Sebastian Lady Stags. It was like a championship match that many of the volleyball enthusiasts are really waiting for. Gosh, I regret not seeing it live, but who cares? It was still an exciting game even though I watched it in the television.

Michelle Carolino is worthy to be called M9, she was just like a gun that is so precise in all her kills. Take note, all her kills send those who receives them diving to the floor just to save the ball. If she was really an M9, Suzanne, Baulee, Lou Anne and the rest of the Lady Stags would be gone by now, as in dead!

Mary Jean Balse is what we call, "walang kupas" She was just on the roll. Kill after kill. There came a point wherein she would be the one to receive the ball and still have to attack, but she would still earn the point to the delight of the Lady Tigers fans.

But what I really wanted to highlight in this blog is how Rhea Dimaculangan evolved to be a better setter than in the previous leagues where they joined. I didn't see her play like that during the UAAP season. Oh well, I have to give credit to Coach Shack. He well deserved the job as their head coach.

Nothing to be shied about, the Lady Stags did their best and showed their talents to the audience that watched that showdown last sunday. Suzanne Roces carried the team in my opinion. She was the only consistent player that game. Lou Ann has her shining moments as well as Reysabelle Devanadera. But what I noticed is that Jeng Bualee lost her game because she got frustrated by the blockings of Aiza Maizo. I think that's the key to defeat a great team like the Lady Stags.

I hope to see another exciting game like this one in the finals. :D
