Nat’l U, Hope near Rebisco VL semis

Nazareth School of National U notched its third straight-set victory while Hope Christian High School recalled its fierce form as they zeroed in on the semifinal berths in Pool A 18-and-under Rebisco Volleyball League at the Sta. Rosa Multi-Purpose Sports Complex in Laguna last Wednesday.

The NU girls clipped University of Mindanao-Tagum, 25-14, 25-15, to stay tied at the helm at 3-0 with HCS, which needed an extra set to repulse a tough Koronadal National Comprehensive HS side Tuesday then thumped Leyte National HS, 25-9, 25-16, with two playdates left in the single round elims of the tournament sponsored by Rebisco and organized by Metropolitan Sports and Events Group, Inc. headed by Freddie Infante.

NU and Hope dispute the top seeding as they clash in the featured match at 4 p.m. today with Holy Rosary College and De La Salle-Lipa tangling in the other top encounter at 5 p.m. in Pool B.
