Vange Alinsug and two-time UAAP MVP Bella Belen combine for 40 points as the NU Lady Bulldogs trouce the La Salle Lady Spikers in Game 1 of the Season 87 women's volleyball finals

MANILA, Philippines – The NU dynasty stands strong and proud in UAAP women’s volleyball as the mighty Lady Bulldogs cruised to a four-set win over the La Salle Lady Spikers, 25-17, 25-21, 13-25, 25-17, in the Season 87 finals Game 1 at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, May 11.

With the win, the Lady Bulldogs now stand on the edge of their third championship in the last four seasons after having none in the previous six decades prior to their first in 2022.

Vange Alinsug made an early, but strong case for Finals MVP should NU win it all with 21 points, while potential three-time season MVP winner Bella Belen scattered another triple-double of 19 points, 15 digs, and 10 excellent receptions.

Last season’s Finals MVP Alyssa Solomon had herself a quiet night with just 9 points and 9 digs for NU.

La Salle star Angel Canino, the Season 85 MVP, unloaded a game-high 22 points and 14 excellent receptions.

The Lady Bulldogs can finish the story in their so-called “home court,” the Mall of Asia Arena, in Game 2 on Wednesday, May 14, at 5 pm. – Rappler.com
