MANILA, Philippines ? University of Perpetual Help seized its second straight title after beating San Sebastian 25-19, 25-17, 25-16 in Game 3 of their best-of-three championship series in the NCAA Season 88 women?s volleyball tournament Wednesday morning at the Arena in San Juan.

Honey Royse Tubino led the way with 17 points with three blocks for the Lady Altas, who came back from a 0-1 series deficit.

Perpetual Help followed up its?21-25, 25-12, 28-26, 29-27 Game 2 win last Monday with an even better showing.

With their first two games going down-the-wire, the Lady Altas, who pounced on the Lady Stags poor reception with 13 service aces, turned to their solid net and floor defense before converting at the offensive end led by Tubino and April Sartin with relative ease.

Sartin backed up Tubino?s output with 15 points with three aces while San Sebastian?s rookie sensation Grethcel Soltones was held to just 15 points.
