THE SOUTHWESTERN University (SWU) Lady Cobras and the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Lady Jaguars moved a win away from their much-anticipated finals rematch as they survived separate opponents in the semifinal round of the Cesafi women’s volleyball tournament yesterday at the University of San Carlos (USC) Main Gym.
The defending champions Lady Cobras survived the gritty University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) Lady Panthers, 25–20, 25–14, 16–25, 25–23.
The Lady Jaguars, on the other hand, also had to go through some tense moments before pulling off a 25–20, 19–25, 25–22, 25–16 triumph over the USC Lady Warriors.
Both USJ-R and SWU now hold 1-0 (win-loss) cards in the round-robin semis. The top two teams after the round will face off in the finals.
In girls action, Sacred Heart School – Ateneo De Cebu (SHS-AdC), USJ-R and SWU each logged victories to take a three-way tie at the top of the standings with identical 2-0 records.
