Talisay City makes it 3-0 in GUV Cup quarterfinals

The Talisay City volleybelles cruised to their third straight after whipping Tabogon in straight sets in the quarterfinal round of the 2012 Governor Gwen Garcia Unity Volleyball ( GUV) Cup yesterday at the Cebu International Convention Center.

Talisay only needed 42 minutes to trounce Tabogon, 2517, 25- 21 and take the lead in women's group A with an immaculate 30 slate.

Talisay, the first runner- up last season, earlier on by default over Ginatilan.

Liloan is breathing down Talisay's neck with a 2- 0 card, while Sta. Fe and Toledo City share the third spot with identical 2- 1 record.

Sta. Fe tasted its first defeat but not without giving up a good fight against Toledo. The islanders powered to a 25- 20 in the opening session, but Toledo went on to sweep the next two sets, 25-17, 25-16.

Sta. Fe quickly bounced back though and vented its ire on Tabogon via a 25-17, 2519 decision.

In group B, defending champion Mandaue City needed just 21 minutes to demolish Oslob, 254,25- 8 in only 21 for its second win.

Group B, however, is currently led by Catmon and Minglanilla with 3-0 marks.

After winning by forfeiture over Bantayan, Catmon shackled Tabuelan, 2511, 25- 7, while Minglanilla collected its third win at the expense of Alegria in a three- set thriller, 23-25,25-20,2521.

The quarterfinal battle resumes today with five games featuring Toledo vs. Moalboal, Oslob vs. Alegria, Ginatilan vs. Liloan, Talisay vs. Sta. Fe and Mandaue vs. Tabuelan.—
