UAAP media. </div>MANILA (UPDATED) — National University returned to the win column of UAAP Season 88 women&#x27;s volleyball at the expense of University of the East despite continuing to miss the services of Sam Cantada.The Lady Bulldogs swept the Lady Warriors, 25-19, 25-10, 25-19, on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao to notch their fourth win in five games, with Vange Alinsug leading the charge.The senior spiker tallied 10 points to go along with seven receptions and seven assists, Arah Panique added 12 points and three digs, while Celine March stepped up in place of Cantada with 11 points, 12 digs, and four receptions.And for Regine Diego, having such players step up is a luxury that they will continue to bank on as they gun for their third straight women&#x27;s volleyball title.&quot;I never really feel like na malaki yung mawawala kapag may isang player na hindi makakalaro kasi I have somebody else to help the team. Tulungan lang talaga kami,&quot; said the first-year NU head coach.Cantada, who injured her right shin during last Saturday&#x27;s five-set loss to the Fighting Maroons, was in uniform but did not see action to focus on her recovery.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2026/3/1/uaap-nu-rookie-sam-cantada-to-undergo-mri-rehab-after-injury-in-loss-to-up-1556">READ: NU rookie Sam Cantada to undergo MRI, rehab after injury in loss to UP</a></div>Still, her absence was hardly felt as the Lady Bulldogs — despite falling 8-15 in the opening set — charged a 17-to-nine surge, a run that not only allowed them to seal the first frame, but also complete the sweep.On the other hand, Van Bangayan led the Lady Warriors with 12 points, five receptions, and three digs, while KC Cepada added 10, but these weren&#x27;t enough as they succumbed to their fifth straight loss, and 19th overall from last year. Van Bangayan paced the Lady Warriors with 10 points, but it was not enough as UE absorbed its fifth straight loss.

National University returned to the win column of #UAAPSeason88 women’s volleyball at the expense of University of the East.
