Truly this season is packed with suprises that we volleyball fans are very pleased to know things like DLSU (along with their rookies) showing dominance in this season; how Tabaquero and their rookies has affected the quality of play they are showing. A much improved UP and NU teams, a Daquis-less and Morada-less season for FEU (add to Shai’s injury which caused her to stop playing until now) which is solely being caried by Cherry Vivas and how the Lady Eagles and Lady Falcons have stepped up their games and played with more maturity and finally, how a very disappointing Lady Warriors may have found theirselves on probably the worst scoring volleyball game in recent UAAP history.

So to give our dear readers on my insights on how the teams have perfomed read on… (This is in no particular order)

After a very colorful and what seemed like an exhausting week, we finally have games which will be not that easy but far off from the lever. At least, we’ll get some kind of rest from the more exhausting but exciting watch kind of games. Especially this coming Saturday, it is somewhat a preview already of the Final Four as UST-Adamson and Ateneo-La Salle kick it off at The Arena, in one day, at the same venue. I can’t imagine how The Arena will be packed come Saturday knowing that the top four teams will face off against each other.

The Games this coming Wednesday for the UAAP 72 Women’s Volleyball 2nd Round are as follows:

Wednesday, January 20, 2010
venue: San Juan Arena

2PM: AdU vs UE
4PM: UP vs UST

Here are our game predictions….

Now it get’s exciting. After the first round, three teams are tied for second. Wow this is really going to be an exciting season. Who knows come the end of eliminations, three teams will be log jammed for second. This is really looking good. Teams usually change their games, first six, heck even their uniforms come second round. Second round is just like a thriller round. Because of teams wanting to win more and to elevate their performance, games become much more exciting. Upsets happen and tiebreaks usually happen. More painful losses and sweeter wins happen in this round. So prepare for some second round thriller.

The Games this coming weekend for the UAAP 72 Women’s Volleyball 2nd Round are as follows:

The games this weekend were very boring in my opinion. Only the Ateneo vs FEU game gave us a thriller but it was a very good quality volleyball that was given to us by both teams. Both teams must’ve had a spa or massage or something after because you can see in their faces that they were hella tired. The floor defenses of both teams were very commendable. However, the team with more offensive options won.

Also historic this weekend was UST’s win against UE. Two single-digit sets for UE. Damn. UE must be really embarrassed and must be training harder now to give a better show to the UAAP fans in their next game.

The Last Games this week for the UAAP 72 Women’s Volleyball 1st Round are as follows:
