Bualee returns on Good Friday

Posted by admin On April - 20 - 2011

THAI reinforcement Jeng Bualee will make another shot in getting her elusive championship for San Sebastian College. The power-hitting Bualee returns to the country on Good Friday to help the Lady Stags in saving their sagging campaign in the Shakey’s V-League first conference.

San Sebastian will face Far Eastern University in a ‘do or die’ match for the remaining quarterfinals berth in Group A on Easter Sunday at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan. Guest players Suzanne Roces and Cherry Macatangay gave their usual numbers but it was not enough for the Lady Stags, who dropped all their three matches and tie the Lady Tamaraws at the bottom of the standings.

Bualee will replace Roces, while Fil-Swiss libero Jennifer Salgado will take over from Macatangay. “Sana magbago ang ihip ng hangin sa pagpasok nina Jeng (Bualee) at Jennifer (Salgado),” said San Sebastian mentor Roger Gorayeb. The Lady Stags have a lot of problems with their floor defense, a thing which Salgado hope to provide solutions. Read the rest of this entry »

Tigresses new V-League Dynasty

Posted by admin On May - 27 - 2010

MAKE way for University of Santo Tomas, the Shakey’s V-League new dynasty. The Tigresses played their A-game to complete a rare ‘three-peat’ with an emphatic 25-20, 25-27, 25-12, 25-14 victory over San Sebastian College in the ‘sudden death’ duel for the first conference championship Thursday night before a full-house crowd at the Filoil
Flying V Arena in San Juan.

UST won the series, 2-1, to equal La Salle’s three consecutive titles snared in the 2005-06 seasons. Team captain Aiza Maizo shone in the Tigresses’ title-clinching win by firing 17 hits en route in winning the Finals MVP honors.

“Sobrang saya ang feeling. Kahit isa lang ang award na napanalunan ko this conference (Best Spiker), mas masaya na ako at nag-champion uli ang UST,” said Maizo. “Sinabi ko sa mga bata before the game na enjoy lang and make the most out of it,” she added.

The Tigresses, who snared their league-leading sixth title, also drew big numbers from Maika Ortiz, Mary Jean Balse, Rhea Dimaculangan and Dindin Santiago.

Ortiz (16), Balse (13) and Dimaculangan (12) submitted double digit scores, but the revelation in the finals decider was Santiago. The 6-foot-1 Santiago, who was not fielded in Game 2, finished with nine hits, including three blocks, in what could be her final game for UST.

Lady Stags forge ‘rubber match’

Posted by admin On May - 25 - 2010

PLAYING like there’s no tomorrow, Thai import Jeng Bualee banged in 27 hits as San Sebastian College forced a finals decider by nipping defending champion University of Santo Tomas, 21-25, 25-16, 15-25, 25-20, 15-13, in the Shakey’s
V-League first conference Tuesday at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Game 3 is set tomorrow at the same venue. “Gusto niya (Bualee) talagang manalo. Kailangan talaga naming manalo
at ibinuhos nila ang lahat,” said Lady Stags mentor Roger Gorayeb. In her four finals stints for San Sebastian since 2006, Bualee could only end up as a ‘bridesmaid’.

Joy Benito, the tournament’s Most Improved Player, also stepped up for the Lady Stags by scoring 20 hits, including the match-winning kill. Guest player Suzanne Roces and rookie Dafna Robiños also delivered for San Sebastian by combining 23 points.
