MANILA -- De La Salle University took a step towards clinching a quarterfinals bonus in the 2024 Shakey's Super League Collegiate Pre-season Championship, Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.     

This, after the Lady Spikers overcame a first-set loss to take down the University of the East, 23-25, 26-24, 25-20, 25-16, in their Pool E showdown.

The unbeaten Lady Spikers regrouped after yielding the opening set for their second win in as many games in the second round and fifth in the tournament overall.

Shevana Laput did most of the damage for La Salle, scoring a game-high 20 points built on 18 kills and two kill blocks.

"Very happy that we won. We're glad we won two games. We're just very happy with our game," said the 2023 National Invitationals Most Valuable Player.

Angel Canino added 17 markers while Alleiah Malaluan and Amie Provido contributed 12 and nine points, respectively, for the Lady Spikers, who opened the second round robin phase with a huge four-set victory over defending champion National University last week.

La Salle shoots for a second round sweep and the quarters incentive on Wednesday against College of Saint Benilde.

The Lady Warriors slipped to a 1-1 slate despite the 19-point effort of Casiey Dongallo and 11 markers by Jelai Gajero.
