Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — National University has completed a sweep of the first round of the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament.The reigning champions did so after they reasserted their mastery of University of Santo Tomas, 23-25, 25-17, 19-25, 25-19, 15-9, during their Season 86 Finals rematch on Sunday in front of 12,790 fans at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.The Lady Bulldogs tallied their seventh straight victory in as many games, and Alyssa Solomon made this possible by putting up 24 points which was built on 21 attacks and three blocks, as well as seven digs.&quot;Yung panalo namin today, hindi siya naging madali,&quot; said Solomon after the contest. &quot;Yung UST, inaral talaga nila yung bawat laro namin. Binigay nila yung best nila, so very happy kami na pinusuan namin yung win.&quot;Bella Belen also stepped up for the Jhocson-based hitters, putting up 19 markers, 17 digs, and 15 receptions, Vange Alinsug put up 17 markers with 10 digs and seven receptions, while Lams Lamina displayed admirable playmaking by tossing 33 of NU’s 35 excellent sets.Despite putting up 14 more errors than UST, 36-22, National U was still able to dominate the contest by scoring 71 attack points to the Tigresses’ 44. This manifested especially in the fourth frame as when the Lady Bulldogs were down, 2 sets to 1, they unleashed 20 attack points to send the game into a decider.NU used this momentum in the fifth, with the Sherwin Meneses-mentored squad zooming to a 4-1 start in the set following a score by Alinsug, and this was eventually all they needed to take care of business against UST. On the other hand, Reg Jurado delivered 16 points, 16 digs, and nine receptions, and Angge Poyos followed with 13 markers, 15 receptions, and 10 digs, but these weren’t enough as they saw their five-game win streak come to an end. They completed Round 1 with a 5-2 record in the team standings. <div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yX4tWDGezcU?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
