Rookie Shane Reterta delivered four points in the final set, helping seal the deal for the traditional powerhouse.
“That kid is so skilled. She’s unstoppable,” Canino said of Adamson’s Shaina Nitura, who unloaded 35 points. “But our blockings in the fourth and fifth [set] worked.”
La Salle improved to 9-4 to tie UST for second place, needing a victory over FEU and a Lady Bulldogs triumph over the Golden Tigresses to lock up the second seed.
Adamson slipped to 5-8 and is out of the semis race.
