It was a really rainy Thursday and the roads have been wet all day. As expected, there were lot of spots around the metro with a bit of traffic. All these caused me to arrive late for the first game. It was already well past half the second set when I got to find a place to position myself.

It was the lady Falcons of Adamson going against the lady Blazers of Saint Benilde with the former taking the first set. The San Marcelino ladies must have been really missing the services of their guest player Nene Bautista, Lilet Mabbayad and setter Janet Serafica, as they consequently lost the second and third sets. The CSB ladies on the other hand, were very passionate in their efforts as lead by Maureen Penetrante, Katty Kwan, Cindy Velasquez, Giza Yumang, Zharmaine Velez and Renilyne Kara Agero. The game came to a fifth deciding set with the defending champion Falcons surviving the spirited stand of the Blazers. The undermanned Adamson banked on their dependable infantry led by Sang Laguilles, Pau Soriano, Angela Benting and unheralded Angelica Quinlog.
