MANILA -- The Dasmariñas City Monarchs are on the brink of a first round sweep in the 2025 Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA).This, after they overwhelmed the the San Juan Lady Knights, 25-17, 25-19, 20-25, 25-10, in Week 4 on Monday night at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.Samantha Catanda, former UAAP juniors MVP and incoming rookie in UAAP Season 88 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament, sizzled with 18 points to spearhead the barrage as the Monarchs extended their unbeaten run to five games.Natasha Kaye Bombita added 13 points while Abegail Pono and Denesse Daylisan had nine and seven points, respectively, for the Monarchs backed by back-to-back UAAP and three-time SSL champion National U Lady Bulldogs.Vange Alinsug and Celine Marsh were not called into action by the Monarchs, who instead flaunted their deep bench.Dasma, which also beat contenders Quezon and Biñan in an early rampage, dropped the third set but was unforgiving in a fourth-set closeout with a 15-point difference.Mary Christine Ecalla scored 11 points for the Lady Knights, who tripped to a 1-5 slate.In other games, the Quezon Tangerines and Biñan Tatak Gel Arellano Lady Chiefs braved on with gutsy wins against different counterparts to stay within striking distance of Dasma.Reigning champion Quezon trumped the ICC Negros Blue Hawks, 25-17, 25-20, 22-25, 25-15, to move to solo second at 4-1 as last season&#x27;s runner-up Biñan escaped home team Pasay, 22-25, 25-20, 14-25, 25-17, 15-13, for a 3-1 record.Zamantha Nolasco fired 12 points while Shahanna Lleses and Clydel Mae Catarig had 10 points each for the Tangerines represented by four-peat NCAA champions College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers.It&#x27;s the fourth straight win for Quezon after bowing to Dasma in the opener of the MPVA organized by the Volleyball Masters of the Philippines.Laika Tudlasan led the onslaught with 20 points Samantha Gabrielle Tiratira and Marianne Lei Angelique Padillon scored 14 points apiece for Biñan in a quick payback after losing to Quezon last week.Andrea Caparal tallied 19 for the Blue Hawks, who slid to 1-4, as grizzled spiker Aiko Urdas posted the same output for the Lady Voyagers, whose three-game winning run got snapped at 4-2.
