MANILA -- De La Salle University completed a sweep of Pool C in the 2024 Shakey's Super League Collegiate Pre-season Championship, Sunday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

The Lady Spikers made it three wins in three games after battling past Jose Rizal University, 25-18, 25-20, 25-16.

Jyne Soreno scored six of her 10 points from the service line to lead the way for La Salle, while Sandy Demain scored 11 points and Katrina del Castillo added 10 markers.

Amor Guinto finished with 10 points including the match-clinching wing attack for the Lady Spikers, who will face the No. 1 seed from Pool A and second ranked teams from Pool B and D in another round-robin play for one of the two twice-to-beat quarterfinals advantages at stake.

Handout/SSLDespite building a commanding 20-9 lead in Set 2, the Lady Spikers struggled to close out the frame, allowing the Lady Bombers to get within four points, 23-19.

But they showed their poise in the endgame and rode the momentum in a dominant third set.

"Lalo na't mga bata ang kasama ko, nagtutulungan kami sa loob ng court. Maipasok lang talaga ang service, no errors, kasi dapat ma-maintain namin kung ano ‘yung ginawa namin sa training talaga. Dapat consistent sa lahat ng service," said the veteran Soreno.

The also-ran Lady Bombers dropped to 0-2. Nicole Deala and Cherry Dayame had seven and six points, respectively, for JRU.

On Saturday, Far Eastern University survived a 35-point explosion from Adamson rookie Shaina Nitura to come away with a 16-25, 25-22, 31-33, 25-20, 15-13 triumph.

Jean Asis had 13 points, Chenie Tagaod and Gerzel Petallo scored 12 each while Clarisse Loresco added 11 for the Lady Tamaraws' third win in as many games.
