I did watch this game live but most of the time, I was chatting with some friends. So I wasn’t able to take too many good photos. The game was as exciting as the UST vs. FEU match. It also lasted 4 sets. This 4pm game was also televised but I’m sure there wasn’t enough time slot on Studio23 to complete the game, right? So here are the scores:
Ateneo de Manila defeated University of the Philippines in 4 sets: 25-22, 25-20, 24-26, 25-22. Best Scorers were Charo Soriano of Ateneo with a total of 29 won points (22 attacks, 7 blocks) and Danielle Castaneda of UP with 17 points (14 attacks, 3 blocks). Believe it or not, the game was so tight it lasted 2hours and 4mins. With the win, Ateneo’s record is now at 4-3 while UP 1-6.
The Lady Maroons’ only win was with the still winless UE. It really seemed that UP have a solid team this year for UAAP Volleyball Season 70. They certainly have talented and skillful players like Danielle Casteneda, Carmela Lopez, and Miah Rose Manukay. UP is definitely one of the taller teams as well. And yet, it seems they are having a hard time winning games this season. Why? Well, in my opinion, UP needs to mature more as a team. This shows us that the game of volleyball is more than just having strong individual players. You gotta play solid as a team. With all the drama and upsets taking place in the UAAP, it’s never too late. I hope UP will do better in the next round. Go UP!! Fight! Fight! Fight!!!

Another loss for my alma mater, UP.
At least it is good to hear that Danielle Castaneda is playing well.
I hope that UP eventually finds its form and start winning games.
The talent is there, it is just a matter of bringing it all together.

Just some impression of UP I got from the TV broadcast:
1. The team is obviously still trying to jell together. It becomes most apparent in a lot of the stared-at-balls and the bumpings when hustling after a dig.
2. The setter is still adjusting to her attackers, and vice-versa.
3. The digging and the floor defense could definitely be improved.
4. Some flashes of brilliance in the blocking department.
5. The outside hitters have a hard time delivering the expected kills, especially Manukay.
6. Catañeda was the brightest spot in attacking, with some help from Lopez and Hernandez.

UP’s blocking is stellar in that game. Their floor defense is horrendous as usual. Castañeda shoud be developed into an effective backline hitter, while Manukay should learn to be consistent. Hernandez, cute siya.
Go lang ng go! UP, ang galing mo! (Centennial na natin
)

Basta ako, kahit talo ang UP, masaya pa rin ako kc nakita ko na naman c Castañeda. hehehe…Sayang hindi kasali ang UP sa Shakey’s V-League….Malaki pa naman ang potential ng team nila…kelangan lang ng mas maraming exposure sa high-level volleyball games….

Hey, aL, sabi ng isang poster dito Rose Ann Taganas (libero of FEU) and the better known open spiker Patty Tagans of Ateneo are in fact cousins.

@Rieze: Kahit nasa bottom ng standings ang UP I salute them for their hard work. They may lack a strong line up or lack the skills same as those of the top ranking teams but still they do their best to gain the much needed point. Makikita mo talaga yung passion, yung fire within them which the UST lacks. True to their name :FIGHTING MAROONS….

agree, 2nd Sight. I’m really happy that even if UP loses, they really try their best to give the opposing team a hard time. At nakikita niyo sa games nila, kahit na down sila by 10, suddenly hahabol sila with opponent errors! hahaha.
Sino pa ba magkamag-anak sa mga players?

alam nyo ba kung aling games dyan ang itetelevise?? naku mamaya adu vs feu and next sunday ust vs feu… exciting… sa feb10 pa yung adu vs ust.. kailangan talaga huli?? para aabangan talaga!

The BEST pa rin ADAMSON coz they have the no. 1 setter and digger with SERAFICA and GATA… BENTING, LAGUILLES, GUSTILLO and SO will be leading the team in what they do best, QUICK HITS!!! Sa blocking department lang lower ranked ang Adamson. Also ADAMSON is ranked the no. 1 setting team, no. 3 in one department and the rest they are at no. 2. Conclusion: They have the BEST SUCCESS RATE!!! That is why they are rated NUMBER 1!!!
Thus it would be Adamson against either ust o feu. Even LA SALLE will have the chance of beating at most the two said teams in the 2nd round…
FEU did a good demolition job!
GASGAS na yang UST!
Adamson will maintain its NUMBER 1 position and eventually be the champions.
Later this day FEU will drop to number 3. ADAMSON number 1 for good!!!

to arci..tnx for posting the schedule of the games.

ai meron na pala hehehe…thanks heehe

personally, the UP team has potential…they already have the height to work with however, the team lacks consistency in their defense and plays…i think their biggest problems are their floor defense, open attackers who are inconsistent and their setter…nario is not doing a great job in the setting department probably because she still lacks experience but if she does become better, she can set up more plays for her hitters…manukay and hernandez are inconsistent attackers…one game they play good volleyball and then afterwards they just crumble..they still need to practice and train harder so that they can score more points for the team…i believe
castaneda is the one with the most potential because she has great blocking skills and with a bit more training, she can be one of the top spikers in the league as well…UP should capitalize on her skills so that they can steal a set or two from the top teams..

agree with everything you said, solid UST.

I agree that Adamson’s Lizlee Ann Gata is probably the best Libero in the conference right now
She actually was named Best Digger in the recent Shakey’s V-League

john, kesinee is a guest player in the v-league, and guest players aren’t allowed in UAAP volleyball.
The american girl is a borrowed player form Ateneo’s women’s basketball team, Crystal Ballentyne. She plays as an open spiker (i think…)

I’d rather see my team going to the final four than see myself getting the MVP award. For me MVP is just a bonus. I want to make history for Ateneo.â€this is what miss charo quoted and did comment when she was interviewed a few days ago, she really is a humble and a down to earth person even though she deserves to get that award for being the best scorer in the volleyball league this season. this atenean girl i think likes to get that trophy not just by herself alone but as a team,even this girl always get the scores inside the court she remain humble and simple. i hope and encourage her team mates not to leave her behind inside the court, volleyball i think is a team situation so pls push yourself to the limits. i also hope that bea pascual well be well soon from injury she is a big factor and help to that team, her absence will put that team in a slow motion but charo is still there so i think they can survive and climb this highest hill. ballentine i think is a little bit slow when playing inside the court she should practice killing, jumping and down stroke smashing that ball, if ever iba and mapili n mvp this season charo should not worry coz many of her fans still wants to recognize her as the true mvp if you want a proof see her scoring stats and profile in uaap records,gud luck ateneo keep improving there are always room for improvement, bye?

I really wish and hope that ateneo will be in the final four this season before charo ends up his school yrs in ateneo and before her playing term expires.SHes been playing with this team for more or less 4 yrs. Charo contributed a lot not only in this team ateneo but also in the uaap womens volleyball as whole ,she is a big factor on why this game is alive and continue to shine this season, this sports is now being been recognize by most of the people, they are starting to watch in their tv homes, even see it live in ateneo gym, volleyball fanatic person started to cheer for their favorite team and players, so charo is one of those player who really helps this sports known and famous in this era now.Charo’s fans also get to noticed/appreciate her sportmanship inside the court, she is a very nice/smart person, she scores/plays relentlessly but yet remain to be a humble person,she also quote†that she want to give something in return/back to ateneo who taught and supported her in one way or another and in many things she accomplish right now. charo really is a model volleyball player right now and nice person to look into. i hope this girl will not stop playing volleyball because she had so many admirers and avid fans outthere who wants to see her playing volleyball inside the court . i also hope that Phil sports commission will create a proffesional volleyball team or philippine volleyball association where bussiness owners/proprietor can indorse their bussiness product and can able to sponsor a team like for example creating womens volleyball for purefoods team, alaska milk volleyball team, san miguel beer volleyball team, and talk and text phone pal volleyball team.This can be achieve and possible thru advetisement and aired product indorsement,where this college player can be given an opportunity to play after their playing terms in colleges and universities expires. Gud Luck to Miss charo soriano and to her volleyball career.

ateneo now, is in the final four theres no doubt that charo soriano could be the mvp this season, she still leads uaap wv in scoring, I think she deserves to win that award before she finishes her studies, she had proven a lot/enough in womens volleyball, many of her fans are awaiting to see that mvp award in her hands, a lot of people will be celebrating and happy for her. gud luck ateneo lady spikers
