Lady Eagles seek revenge vs Lady Spikers

ATENEO seeks revenge against La Salle today as the elimination round of the UAAP women’s volleyball heads to its final stretch.

The Lady Eagles and the Lady Spikers have already secured the semifinal bonus but there’s no easing up for the fierce rivals in their 4:30 p.m. showdown at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

“We can’t just take this game lightly,” said La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus. “It’s Ateneo-La Salle, so even if it’s no-bearing, everyone plays with pride.”

In the first round, the Lady Spikers shocked the Lady Eagles with a straight-set 25-22, 25-14, 25-18 decision that also snapped the defending champions’ 24-game winning streak.

But the Lady Eagles vow to avenge that upset as they go for a 12th victory to seal their hold of the No. 1 spot.

University of the Philippines tackles University of Santo Tomas earlier at 12 noon needing a win to secure at least a playoff for the last Final Four berth.

A UP win coupled with a National University loss to La Salle on Wednesday will give the Lady Maroons the last semifinal slot.

In the streetdance competition, the UP Streetdance Club captured its third straight championship yesterday also at MoA Arena.
