Ateneo won its first ever league title in women's volleyball, dethroning last season's champion and arch-rival La Salle in a remarkable three-set sweep, 25-23, 26-24, 25-21, on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
With La Salle's thrice-to-beat advantage, the Ateneo Lady Eagles defeated the De La Salle Lady Spikers in 3-0 game score during the UAAP Volleyball Championship.
It was Alyssa Valdez who played best during the match. Valdez led the Lady Eagles having the final three points off the game for Ateneo. She was named as the Best Scorer, Best Server and Most Valuable Player of this year’s UAAP Volleyball season.
“Who would’ve thought we’d reach game 4? This is all worth it. Our goal was to reach the final four but we’re here in the end,” said an overwhelmed Valdez. “It’s all worth it.”
The scores:
Ateneo – Valdez 21, Morente 11, De Jesus 10, Ahomiro 6, Morado 4, Patnongon 1.
