Eagles, Bulldogs seal S Turf title duel

Ateneo survived a first-set scare then imposed its will and power in the next two to sweep La Salle 26-24, 25-19, 25-17, on Monday and arrange a title showdown with National U in the Spikers’ Turf Season 2 Collegiate Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.

Marck Espejo soared high anew on Joner Polvorosa’s set plays, converting 16 of 22 attempts while Tex Intal went seven-of-seven on kills as the Eagles fashioned out the straight-set win following a scrambling 25-16, 17-25, 25-23, 26-28, 15-7 victory in the opener of their best-of-three semifinal series over the weekend.
