The Lady Bulldogs needed four sets to setup a title rematch against the De La Salle Lady Spikers, tallying a 22-25, 25-22, 25-12, 25-15 Final Four win over the Lady Falcons at the Araneta Coliseum Wednesday. Reigning MVP Bella Belen dropped a game-high 29 points including five blocks while Alyssa Solomonn added 21 markers to earn the Best Player of the Game nod. “We&#x27;re happy po na nanalo po kami this game. Pero yung start po kasi namin, hindi ganon ka-ganda. I think marami pa po kaming dapat i-improve para pagdating sa finals, maayos po yung laro namin and smooth po,” Belen said. NU will try to defend their title when they face the top-seeded Lady Spikers on Sunday in the same venue. It was all Lady Bulldogs in the third and fourth set after Belen went for an off-the-block followed by an attack error of Adamson for an 18-10 cushion. Vange Alinsug made it an 11-point ball game with back-to-back hits for a 23-12 separation.The Lady Bulldogs built another insurmountable lead as Solomon hammered a crosscourt spike for a 15-7 gap. Belen denied Trisha Tubu for another double-digit lead, 20-10. She further stretched their advantage off a block and combination play, 23-11. Kate Santiago finished with 15 points and 11 digs while Lorene Toring had 11 points. Meanwhile, Tubu was limited to her season-low six points. <div>UAAP Season 85 is streaming on iWantTFC every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, available for Premium users outside the Philippines.</div>
