Ateneo Lady Eagles eyes second straight win

MANILA, Philippines—The fancied Ateneo squad goes for a second straight victory against the University of the East in the UAAP women’s volleyball competition right in its homecourt Wednesday.

Boosted by former high school standout Alyssa Valdez, the Lady Eagles try to follow up on their upset of powerhouse UST in the 2 p.m. duel at the Blue Eagle gym.

“The girls were impressive in their first game this season,” said Ateneo coach Roger Gorayeb. “I hope they would keep it that way the rest of the tournament.”

Adamson, which lost to defending champion La Salle in the opener, shoots for its first win versus UP at 3:30 p.m.

In men’s action, UP also vies for a 2-0 start against National University at 10:30 a.m.
