Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — National University&#x27;s bid for a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four got a major boost following its win over Ateneo de Manila University.The Lady Bulldogs dominated the Blue Eagles, 25-22, 25-16, 25-15, during their UAAP Season 86 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.Alyssa Solomon was the Jhocson spikers&#x27; top scorer for this game after the 6-foot-1 opposite spiker put up 23 points that were built on 19 attacks and four aces, while Vange Alinsug finished with 15 points, 11 receptions, and two digs.&quot;Kailangan talaga yung consistency namin, and syempre sakin din kasi papalapit na nang papalapit matapos yung season so every game 100% talaga yung binibigay ko para sa team namin kasi lahat kami gustong gusto manalo,&quot; said Alinsug, who stepped up for Bella Belen who only had two points. Still, the former rookie-MVP remained stable on defense, with nine digs and five receptions.Alinsug stressed that they must avoid slow starts in their games, after the Blue Eagles surged to an early 9-5 lead in the opener before the Lady Bulldogs dominated in the last two frames. &quot;Sakin po, para samin hindi talaga dapat kami nagso-slow start kasi nahihirapan din kami lalo na kapag nag 3-down, 5-down, so ginagawa namin, balik namin yung connection namin,&quot; she said. &quot;Marami pa kaming araw para ma-improve yun kasi ginagawa rin namin yun sa training na kami yung 10, tapos yung kalaban namin 20, so binubuo namin kung paano namin i-babaliktarin yung laro,&quot; he explained. Lyann De Guzman led the Ateneans as she tallied eight points, seven digs, and six receptions. AC Miner top-scored for them with nine markers that were built on five points, three blocks, and an ace, Yvana Sulit also had eight, while Sobe Buena had three.The Bulldogs moved up to 9-2 in the standings, while Ateneo&#x27;s hopes of entering the Final Four took a hit as they fell to 3-8.NU will face De La Salle University on Sunday at the same Pasay-based venue, while Ateneo will be going up against the University of the East on the same play date.Reigning Most Valuable Player Angel Canino&#x27;s status when Norman Miguel&#x27;s squad faces them this weekend is still uncertain, but Alinsug said that this should not affect their mindset going into that game. &quot;Samin po, &#x27;di namin iniisip na &#x27;di maglalaro si Angel. So, lalaro lang kami ng laro namin,&quot; she said.&quot;Di porket [wala] kasi si Angel, siya [pa rin] yung malaki yung impact niya sa team nila. So kami, we just play our game,&quot; she added.<div dir="ltr" style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);text-size-adjust:auto;line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"> </div>
