FEU outlasts reigning NCAA champion St. Benilde to kick off its campaign in the packed all-collegiate women’s volleyball tournament.

MANILA, Philippines – In an opening game day that lasted from noon to midnight, the Shakey’s Super League was able to successfully hold its inaugural play date at the historic Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Malate, Manila.

“But I wanted to show them the mentality of a Tina Salak in terms of play, so that I could translate that to them and eventually be adopted,” she added. The Lady Blazers were trying to engineer a comeback that saw a 10-6 deficit trimmed to within one, 12-11. However, the Lady Tams uncorked a 3-0 blast to claim their first win in the fledgling league.“She just told us to play with no pressure in the game, so we did just that,” the Cebu native said.

With Perpetual down 20-22, the rookie spiker uncorked four markers in a run that helped their side claim a 26-25 lead. An attack error from San Beda sealed the deal for the Lady Altas. “I told them, ‘we lost focus.’ When we went ahead in the first set, they lost focus. I reminded them that volleyball isn’t about having big leads, it’s about who gets to 25 points first. So as long as you haven’t scored 25 yet, we should not relax,” explained Rieta.

Lia Pelaga led all scorers with 18 points, while Percae Nieva and Von Dimaculangan added 17 and 16 points, respectively, for the Lady Warriors.
