COLLEGE of Saint Benilde (CSB) battled back from a set down and endured a tense-filled third set skirmish as it stopped erstwhile unbeaten University of the East (UE) 23-25, 25-22, 29-27, 25-18 to formalize its stint in the semifinal round of the V-League Women's Collegiate Challenge at the Paco Arena in Manila on Sunday.

Gayle Pascual unloaded a 23-point game, including clutch hits in the third, while Jade Gentapa backed her up with 20 points as the Lady Blazers rebounded from a tough four-set loss to the streaking Far Eastern University Lady Tams last Friday to hike their record to 4-1.
