Espejo, Eagles stop Tigers, reach PVL finals

Marck Espejo returned from a UAAP tournament stint and rammed in 23 hits, powering Ateneo past UST, 22-25, 25-22, 31-29, 25-13, to clinch the other finals berth in the men’s tournament of the Premier Volleyball League Collegiate Conference at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan on Monday.

Espejo, who missed the Eagles’ game last Saturday which the Tigers took, 25-22, 25-23, 22-25, 25-21, to set up this rubber match, blasted in 20 kills in his return to action from a beach volley tournament as Ateneo arranged a title clash with Far Eastern U, which earlier swept National U in their side of the semis of the season-ending conference of the league organized by Sports Vision.
