Bouncing back from a jittery start that cost them the first set, St. John's Institute Batch 2010-14 beat the Aspirants in three sets, 14-25, 25-18, and 25-13 at the opening of the 3rd SJI Volleyball Friendship Cup at the at the Msgr. John Liu Activity Center, Saturday.

With setter Angel Sy quicker Dorothy Ortega, hitters Natasha Escares Marichi Maligmat, Nicole Jison, Kimberly Conde and Celine Infante, the Aspirants took advantage of the lack of cohesion and error-prone Batch 2010-14 to take the first set.

But Batch 2010-14 got their acts together in the next two sets with College of St. Benilde standout Bianca Lizares executing her blocking moves and net attacks and the reinforcement from setter Isabelle Juson.
