SAN SEBASTIAN COLLEGE and Adamson try to seal a championship
showdown in the Shakey’s V-League Season5 as they switch rivals
Friday, eyeing no less than a pair of victories over Ateneo and
Lyceum, respectively, at The Arena in San Juan.
The Lady Stags blasted the Pirates in straight
sets, 25-16, 25-19, 25-16, in the opening of the single round semis
Tuesday and are looking good as they face the Lady Eagles in the 4
p.m. main game which also features the clash of Thai imports Bualee
Jaroensri (SSC-R) and Em-orn Phanusit (Ateneo).
The Lady Falcons needed four sets to subdue the
Eagles, 25-16, 20-25, 25-22, 25-21, also Tuesday but will remain the
slight favorites when they take on the Pirates at 2 p.m.
Victories by San Sebastian and Adamson will send
the Stags and the Falcons into the best-of-3 finals although Ateneo
and Lyceum will surely give everything they’ve got to stop their
rivals and stay alive in the championship race in the tournament
sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza.
The Lady Stags swept the Eagles in their two
meetings in the elims, so did the Falcons over the Pirates. That
should give the leading teams the confidence and motivation to
repeat over their rivals with Jaroensri expected to lead SSC-R again
and guest player Neriza Bautista likely to take charge anew for the
Falcons.
Meanwhile, the Adamson-Lyceum duel will be shown
on NBN-4 starting at 2 p.m. Saturday while the SSC-R-Ateneo clash
will be aired Sunday. For details, log on to www.v-league.ph.
