Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — De La Salle University imposed its presence over Adamson University to improve its chances of earning a twice-to-beat advantage in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament.The Lady Spikers bucked a slow start and eventually dominated the Lady Falcons, 17-25, 25-19, 25-11, 25-22, during their faceoff on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.Shevana Laput took charge for the Taft-based squad and put up 24 points that were built on 22 attacks and two blocks, Thea Gagate followed her with 12 points, Alleiah Malaluan finished with seven, and Julia Coronel tossed 19 excellent sets.&quot;Actually, nung first set talagang sobrang tentative nung galaw nila. Nag-aantayan, walang gustong mag-lead so yun, yun yung naging resuta,” said La Salle deputy mentor Noel Orcullo following the game.&quot;Pag ganitong walang nagli-lead talagang nagiging panget yung galaw nila. Parang hindi sila magkakakilala sa loob kasi nga walang nagli-lead. So. buti nalang, nanalo at nakuha yung second set hanggang nag tuloy-tuloy so a win is a win pa rin talaga kahit masama yung laro,&quot; he added. Orcullo was pertaining to the opening frame wherein after leading by two, 17-15, Adamson scored 10 unanswered points, capped by a drop ball by Angge Alcantara to end the set. La Salle was able to recover in the second to tie the game at one apiece, but it was in the third frame when they switched gears as they charged an eight-to-one run to open the set after an ace by Malaluan.Their lead ballooned to 13 points, 22-9, after an off-the-block kill by Maicah Larroza, but despite this dominance in the third, Adamson still made it a close encounter in the following set.Both teams were only distanced by one point, 22-21, late in the fourth, but fortunately for La Salle, Laput’s kill produced a two-point lead for her squad.An error from Jamili then gave the Lady Spikers the matchpoint, while another attack from Malaluan finally allowed the defending champions to improve to 10-2 in the standings. They are now tied with University of Sto. Tomas and National University for the No. 1 spot in the team standings.Leading the Lady Falcons were Jen Villegas who had 16 points, Ayesha Juegos who had 10, and Jamili with nine points, seven receptions, and five digs. Unfortunately for Adamson, they fell to 3-8 in the team standings.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3015294"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script></div>
