/ 01:17 AM January 10, 2016

Perpetual Help shoots for a twice-to-beat advantage as it faces  Letran in Sunday’s inal elimination round playdate in the men’s division of the 91st NCAA volleyball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.

With their sweep bid nipped in the bud following 20-25, 22-25, 17-25 defeat to reigning champion Emilio Aguinaldo Friday, the Altas gun for a twice-to-beat Final Four incentive instead with a victory in their 2 p.m. duel with the Knights.

A win will give the Las Pinas-based school a chance to avenge its bitter defeat to EAC since the two will end up tied on top with an 8-1 (win-loss) record, thus forging a playoff for the top seeding on Monday.
