SSC-Excelroof eyes 4th V-League victory
San Sebastian-Excelroof tries to solidify its hold of the lead when it clashes with Perpetual Help today in the Shakey’s V-League Season 7 second conference at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
The Lady Stags gun for their fourth straight victory in the 4 p.m. showdown with their NCAA rival Lady Altas.
Adamson shoots for a third consecutive win against Far Eastern U at 6 p.m. while winless St. Benilde tangles with Lyceum in the second game at 4 p.m.
The Lady Stags have been invincible so far, easily disposing of title contender Ateneo in straight sets Thursday.
But Perpetual Help has shown flashes of brilliance in its first two games, giving enough reason for San Sebastian coach Roger Gorayeb not to take the Lady Altas lightly.
The Lady Altas stunned the Lady Falcons and dragged the Lady Eagles to five sets before yielding in a little less than two hours.
But they were listless in the straight-set defeat to fellow newcomer National University.
The Lady Falcons have bounced back resoundingly from that loss to Perpetual Help, winning their next two games.
Led by the experienced Michele Laborte and Nerissa Bautista, Adamson rallied from a set down to squeak past Lyceum, 25-20, 22-25, 21-26, 25-16, 15-7, Thursday.
Bautista made her presence felt on the attack with 26 points while Laborte was an intimidating presence at the net with crucial blocks in the fifth set.
