MANILA, Philippines — University of the Philippines got tested but steadied its game at the finish, foiling University of the East, 25-23, 20-25, 25-23, 24-26, 15-11 to move to a share of the fourth spot in the UAAP season 81 women’s volleyball yesterday. Marian Buitre netted her attack early in the fifth but atoned for that with four points to give the Lady Maroons a 9-5 cushion, then UP closed it on a 5-2 run anchored on miscues by the Lady Warriors. That’s what challenged us,” said Lady Maroons coach Godfrey Okumu. Lady Warriors libero Kath Arado registered 35 digs and 31 excellent receptions while outside hitter Judith Abil also helped in guarding the floor with 29 digs and 19 excellent receptions which complemented her 22-point effort. The Lady Eagles faced little trouble in dispatching the Lady Tamaraws, producing the sweep in 69 minutes to sustain their hot streak at 9-1.
