Ateneo stays clean

ATENEO de Manila added World Citi Colleges to its list of victims, posting a 25-16, 25-20, 25-10 triumph in the third Mamerto S. Miranda Cup invitational volleyball tournament at the MMC covered court in Novaliches, Quezon City.

Finding little opposition, the Blue Eagles completely dominated the three-set match to subdue the Vikings and register their fifth straight win in this 10-team tournament being held in honor of MMC founder Mamerto S. Miranda.

The win enabled Ateneo to move half a game ahead of two-time defending champion St. Jude College (4-0).

Overshadowed by Ateneo’s fifth straight win was host Metro Manila College, which rallied from a two-set deficit to subdue two-time runner-up National College of Business and Arts, 26-24, 15-25, 19-25, 25-11, 15-11, for its fourth win against only one loss.

In other matches, National University defeated Polytechnic University of the Philippines, 25-13, 21-25, 25-17, 25-22, for its second win in three outings; and University of Asia and the Pacifc, which outlasted La Consolacion College, 23-25, 17-25, 25-15, 25-11, 15-11, for its first win in four matches.
