Nat’l U, Hope near Rebisco VL semifinals

Nazareth School of National U notched its third straight-set victory while Hope Christian High School recalled its fierce form as they zeroed in on the semifinals berths in Pool A 18-and-under Rebisco Volleyball League at the Sta. Rosa Multi-Purpose Sports Complex in Laguna last Wednesday.

The NU girls clipped University of Mindanao-Tagum, 25-14, 25-15, to stay tied at the helm at 3-0 with HCS, which needed an extra set to repulse a tough Koronadal National Comprehensive HS side Tuesday then thumped Leyte National HS, 25-9, 25-16, with two playdates left in the single round elims of the tournament sponsored by Rebisco and organized by Metropolitan Sports and Events Group, Inc. headed by Freddie Infante.
