THE UST Lady Spikers reigned supreme in the Beach Volleyball Republic (BVR) On Tour in Dumaguete Saturday.

The UST tandem of Babylove Barbon and Genesa Eslapor toppled Perlas Spikers Bea Tan and Dij Rodriguez in the finals, 17-21, 21-14, 15-12.

“Malaki na ang pinagbago nila kasi ‘yong mga tumatalo sa amin dati ngayon tinalo na nila. But still, marami pang dapat i-improve kasi ibang usapan naman pa dating sa UAAP,” UST head coach Paul Jan Doloiras told the Varsitarian in an online interview.

With UST at match point in the final frame, 14-9, Perlas tried to catch up after three consecutive errors from the Lady Spikers, before Barbon fired a down-the-line kill for the win.

Eslapor exploded with 25 points while Barbon had 17 markers for UST.

Tan had 16 points for Perlas.

In men’s play, Tiger Spikers Rancel Varga and Efraem Dimaculangan snagged bronze after pulling off a 21-14, 19-21, 15-11 victory against University of St. La Salle’s Herold Parcia and Deanne de Pedro.

“Sa lalaki kasi, mas mahirap ang laruan dahil mas malalakas ang sumasali sa off-season tournaments namin kaya malaking bagay na ‘yan para samin. At least, nakapasok kami sa podium,” Doloiras said.

The tournament ran from April 26 to 27.
