The four-peat-seeking Lady Chiefs recovered from a tough first set loss and won the second set after two consecutive errors off a service and Johna Dolorito’s outside attack of Lyceum, gave the set point to Arellano, 25-20.

Arellano continued to dominate in the third frame as the team took advantage of an 18-14 lead, capped a 6-0 run, and widened the gap to 10 points following Tina Abay’s back quick and KC Adante found a hole in Lyceum’s defense floor.

Abay closed out the third frame off the blockers from Lyceum, as the team never looked back in the fourth and last frame with veteran Cess Bello going for a kill to claim a 22-17 lead.
