The Lady Warriors also tallied six more errors than their counterparts, 20-14, to add to their woes. On the other hand, UE, which remained winless with its 0-3 record, was paced by Van Bangayan and KC Cepada who delivered 11 and 10, respectively.Contributing to the Lady Warriors&#x27; loss, one that saw them trail by 13 in the last frame, was their abysmal showing in the playmaking department as they only had five excellent sets.All of these came from Mary Ecalla who had 87 attempts.<div>Related Video:</div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABUx4915BokCQGrD"></script>
