Paul Justine Say and Jan Abor proved to be a formidable tandem for the Blazers as the Generals completed a sweep of the tournament, delivering the school’s first title since 2019 and its third overall. 
EAC made sure to unload the same energy come the finals with the lefty Abor unleashing a slew of attacks that sent the Generals to a 13-9 advantage before Say found an opening on his drop ball that made it a 16-12 affair. 
—JKC, GMA Integrated NewsA net touch violation against Benilde had EAC cruising to the championship point at 20-13 but the pair of Leonard Jaboli and Kevin Ondevilla, who were coming off a semifinals win against reigning champion Perpetual, fought back and scored three straight points to cut the deficit to four at 20-16. They left no stone unturned this time around as they reclaimed the title after going 9-0 in the eliminations and defeating San Beda University in the semifinals yesterday. EAC won back-to-back titles in Season 93 and 94, but lost to University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in Season 98 finals before they missed the finals altogether the following year. Updated February 9, 2025 6:19pmThis marked the Braves’ third juniors title and first since 2018. In the juniors, Arellano University bucked a slow start and dethroned reigning champion EAC with a hard-fought 19-21, 21-13, 15-12 victory in their finals duel earlier in the day. Emilio Aguinaldo College completed its redemption tour, sweeping De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in the finals, 21-16, 21-16 to reign supreme in the NCAA Season 100 men’s beach volleyball on Sunday in Subic, Zambales. Abor put the punctuation, going for a killer attack over the block of Ondevilla to finish it off. Published February 9, 2025 6:19pm
