San Sebastian College rallied from a six-point deficit in the fifth and final set and turned back St. Benilde, 20-25, 25-21, 22-25, 25-19, 16-14, to close in to a fifth straight crown in the women’s division of the 85th NCAA volleyball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.
 
In men’s contest, Warren Pirante hammered 25 hits and added four blocks while Eynard Vergara came through with 15 strikes to lift Letran to a 25-23, 17-25, 11-25, 25-23, 19-17 triumph over San Beda and move a win away from a third straight championship.

In juniors’ action, Wilfred Pelone and John Erickson Francisco conspired for 41 hits as they powered Perpetual Help to a 25-19, 21-25, 25-21, 25-20 win over San Sebastian to inch closer to its first ever crown.

In the distaff side, with the game knotted at 14-all in the deciding set, the power-hitting Joy Benito unleashed a pair of rocket-like kills, her 21st and 22nd overall, to essay the come-from-behind triumph for the SSC belles, who hope to wrap things up in Game Two on Thursday.
