The new-look University of the East made short work of Jose Rizal University, 25-14, 25-21, 25-19, for a sizzling debut in the Shakey's Super League (SSL) Collegiate Pre-Season Championship Season 2 on Sunday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Rookie Casiey Dongallo announced a roaring introduction in the collegiate ranks by firing 20 points -- all on attacks -- to spearhead the Lady Warriors' sweep for a 1-0 slate in Pool A that also has reigning champion National U and San Sebastian College-Recoletos.The California Academy standout, who reigned as the Shakey's Girls Volleyball Invitational League MVP last summer, played only in the last two sets but still proved too much to handle for the Lady Bombers.
'Without Dongallo in the opener, veteran KC Cepeda, who finished with five points, carried UE to a 19-9 gap with little to no resistance from JRU en route to a deciding 11-point win.Then came Dongallo, who ran roughshod on the Lady Bombers by anchoring a 10-4 rally highlighted by backrow hit to catapult the Lady Warriors to an 18-12 upperhand from an 8-8 deadlock early in the second set.
