By: 14 years ago

MANILA, Philippines—Adamson stakes its six-game winning run against Ateneo even as San Sebastian-Excelroof tackles Lyceum Thursday in the Shakey’s V-League Season 7 second conference at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

With their impressive form of late, the Lady Falcons, who share top spot with the Lady Stags with an 8-2 slate, are favored to avenge their elimination-round defeat to the Lady Eagles in the 4 p.m. game.

Far Eastern U and newcomer National U try to keep their semifinal hopes alive when they clash in the first game at 2 p.m.

Already assured of a semifinal berth, the Lady Stags, led by Suzanne Roces and Jeng Bualee, gun for their ninth win in 11 outings against the Lady Pirates at 6 p.m.

The game means more to the Lady Pirates, who are hoping to keep a tight hold of the fourth and final semifinal spot.

FEU, one game behind Lyceum at 4-5, is still in the hunt for a semifinal berth despite three straight losses.

The Lady Tamaraws will lean on the troika of Michelle Carolino, Rachelle Ann Daquis and Cherry Ann Vivas.

The Lady Bulldogs, with a 2-7 card, are hard pressed to sweep their remaining matches. But a Lyceum victory over San Sebastian will shut the door on the Lady Bulldogs.
