DE La Salle University recovered from a second set meltdown to complete a 25-22, 25-27, 25-21, 25-17 triumph over defending champion National University to open its second-round campaign in the UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball tournament at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday.
After being marred by three consecutive errors to lose the second set, the Green Spikers relied on the tandem of Noel Kampton and Vince Maglinao to swiftly take the next two frames en route to forging a tie for third place with the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles with identical 5-3 records.
