Arellano survives LPU in five-setter ahead of NCAA men's volleyball Final Four
NCAA Arellano University survived a gritty Lyceum of the Philippines University squad, 23-25, 25-10, 20-25, 25-22, 15-8, to end its elimination round campaign on a high note on Tuesday in the NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball tournament at the Filoil Centre in San Juan. After claiming the fourth set to even the match, the Chiefs had an early 5-1 lead before they pulled away, 11-6. Carl Berdal then widened the lead for the Chiefs before an ace from AC Guinto put them at 13. Jun Edang then tried to trim LPU's deficit, which was followed by an attack error from Berdal for LPU to score two straight. However, Berdal scored back-to-back to seal the victory for the Chiefs. The duo of Berdal and Guinto led Arellano in offense with 22 points and 20 points, with the former having eight digs, while the latter had 20 receptions. Jiwen Sinuto added 15 points, while Jake Pangilinan chipped in 13 points as Adrian Villados made all of Arellano's 25 excellent sets on top of his four-point output. For head coach Bryan Vitug, the win was important especially with the Final Four round coming. "Good thing at least papasok ng Final Four, alam nila paano kumapit kahit during bad games. 'Yun ang mahalaga, nag-recover," Vitug said. Jun Edang's 23 points went to naught, while Isaiah Chrys Santos added 17 points as LPU slipped to 2-15. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

San Sebastian outlasts LPU to snap four-game skid
NCAA San Sebastian College-Recoletos overcame a tough challenge from Lyceum of the Philippines University, 30-28, 21-25, 18-25, 25-22, 15-8, on Saturday in the NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball tournament at the San Andres Gym in Manila.

After falling in Sets 2 and 3, the Golden Stags managed to recover and claimed the fourth set before momentum shifted on their end as they took an early 7-2 lead in the deciding frame.

The Golden Stags then continued to cruise to a 10-4 lead before Christian Alba went clutch in the final stretch to claim the victory. Alba led the Golden Stags with 26 points from 20 attacks, four blocks, and two aces, while Villamor added 18 points on top of 30 receptions and seven digs. Aaron Binondo added 11 while Enzo Leal showed up for defense with 15 receptions and 10 digs as San Sebastian improved to 5-12.

Mark Lanorio and David Talento had 12 and 10 points, respectively, as LPU moved to 2-14.
