Games  on Sunday (The Arena)
2 p.m. — UST vs UP
4 p.m. — FEU vs Adamson

University of Santo Tomas rolled to its third straight victory as the Tigresses demolished the Lyceum Lady Pirates, 25-20, 25-21, 25-19, late Friday to cement its hold of the solo lead in the Shakey’s V-League Season 6 second conference at the Blue Eagle gym of Ateneo de Manila University.

Angeli Tabaquero was the lone double-digit scorer for the Tigresses – 12 points – but it was enough to power the España-based squad which got a little of everything from its role players.

Lyceum was in the thick of the fight in the early part of the one-hour, nine-minute encounter but just couldn't contain UST’s juggernaut and fell to their second straight defeat in the league presented by Shakey's Pizza.

With the win, UST boosted its quarterfinals bid.

The Tigresses, winners of the first conference, hope to stretch their win run to four as they plunge back into action today (Sunday) against the UP Maroons, a team still trying to put up together a solid game after dropping its first three matches in the tournament organized by Sports Vision and backed by Accel, Mikasa, Mighty Bond, and OraCare.

Gametime is at 2 p.m. with action back at The Arena in San Juan.

Adamson battles Far Eastern University at 4 p.m. with the Lady Falcons determined to notch their third straight win after dropping their opening game.

Meanwhile, games can be viewed live on webcast on www.v-league.ph and on a delayed telecast on NBN-4. The UST-Lyceum duel will be aired at 2 p.m. this Sunday.

Lyceum actually had two players scoring in double figures, Joy Cases (17) and Jamie Peña (15). But skipper
Syvie Artates struggled for just six and Nica Guliman and Christiana Casanova could only come up with three points apiece.

In contrast, Tabaquero drew solid backup from the rest of the Tigresses with Maika Ortiz chipping in nine points, including seven attacks, and skipper and the league's current scoring leader Aiza Maizo adding seven points.

Rhea Dimaculangan and Denise Santiago had six points apiece while rookie Maruja Banaticla, Hanna Mance and guest player Roxanne Pimentel combined for 11 points.
