NCAA Volleyball,Letran Lady Knights,LPU Lady Pirates

Colegio de San Juan de Letran clawed back in the fourth set to repel erstwhile undefeated Lyceum of the Philippines University, 24-26, 25-20, 25-22, 25-22, and bolster its Final Four bid in the NCAA Season 99 women's volleyball tournament on Tuesday at FilOil EcoOil Centre.

Another rookie in Yen Martin weaved a huge game as she rediscovered her form with 16 markers anchored on 13 attacks and three blocks, atoning for a scoreless outing in their four-set loss to Mapua last week.

But it didn't dampen the faith of the Lady Knights as Maquilang manufactured back-to-back hits before Judiel Nitura's single block on Johna Dolorito saw the game tied anew at 19-all. Lyceum would still answer with two straight points capped by an ace from two-time best setter Venice Puzon to cut their deficit to just one, 22-21. But a net error from LPU's rookie middle blocker Hiromi Osada ultimately awarded Letran the four-set triumph.
