The University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons improved to 2-0 in the 2025 Shakey’s Super League National Invitationals after a hard-earned straight-sets victory over Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (25-16, 27-25, 25-12). Middle blocker Niña Ytang led the charge with 13 points, including a clutch performance in the extended second set that helped UP erase a seven-point deficit and eventually take control of the match.
Ytang’s composure and leadership proved pivotal as UP overcame a late scare in the second set, sealing it with a 7-0 run and key plays down the stretch. With contributions from Jelai Gajero, Casiey Dongallo, and Irah Jaboneta, the Fighting Maroons now look ahead to a crucial showdown against defending champion National University to determine the top team of the Davao leg.
