LA SALLE and Ateneo try to arrange a repeat of last year’s title showdown as the two rivals battle separate rivals today in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Lady Archers, vying for a third straight crown, aim for a quick finish against surprise semifinalist National University at 2 p.m., while the Lady Eagles also hope to dispose of Adamson in their 3:30 p.m. duel.

Both the Lady Archers and the Lady Eagles only need to win once in the Final Four after claiming the twice-to-beat advantage as incentive for finishing 1-2 in the elimination round.
