After Alyssa Solomon’s off-the-block kill that pulled NU within one in the decider, 12-13, Sheena Toring tried to block Thea Gagate’s attempt but landed on the foot of the latter, causing her to injure her left knee. Toring was then replaced by Chams Maaya.In the ensuing play, Angel Canino came through with a combination play on the Lady Spikers’ third try before Mhicaela Belen kept the Lady Bulldogs alive with an off-the-block spike, 14-13.
With La Salle ahead by just two in the fourth, Canino and Gagate went back-to-back to send the Lady Spikers to set point before Vange Alinsug got a point but Mhicaela Belen’s attack went wide to stretch the match to a fifth set.
