San Sebastian takes a step closer to a sweep against a Lyceum side that is on the brink of elimination.
The Lady Stags and the Lady Pirates clash at 12:30 p.m. today in the NCAA women’s volleyball at Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan City, with the former just two wins away from a 9-0 sweep.
But San Sebastian coach Roger Gorayeb knew the sweep, which comes with an automatic finals berth a thrice-to-beat bonus, won’t come easy.
“It’s always hard to play a team that is desperate so we really have to watch out and play hard,” said Gorayeb.
Lyceum coach Emil Lontoc said they “don’t have a choice but to win.”
Another loss will end the season for the Lady Pirates who are now at 5-3.
Lyceum is coming off two successive defeats at the hands of Perpetual (21-25, 27-29, 23-25) and Arellano (23-25, 23-25, 20-25).
In juniors action, Lyceum also aims for a sweep and an outright finals slot against ousted San Sebastian at 3:30 p.m.
