UNBEATEN Ateneo and National University clash today in what could be a preview of the finals of the Shakey’s V-League Season 10 First Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

The match is set at 4 p.m. with the Lady Eagles, who are gunning for a third straight crown this year, seeking a sixth consecutive victory. A win by the Lady Bulldogs, unscathed in four games, will complete the semifinal cast in Group I.

“It’s not the finals but we’re very prepared for NU,” said Ateneo coach Roger Gorayeb, whose squad has all but assured its entry to the last four after beating Arellano in straight sets last Thursday.
