Wild semifinals race up in Shakey’s V-League Open

Army clipped PLDT Home Telpad in three while the latter shut out Cagayan, also via sweep. But the defending champion Rising Suns stopped the Lady Troopers in four, setting the stage for a three-way logjam as action in the Shakey’s V-League Season 11 Open Conference heats up with the quarterfinal round starting tomorrow (Sunday).

While Air Force stays within striking distance of the leading troika (6-1) at 4-3 mark and National U, the top spiking and blocking team after the elims, a rung behind at 3-4, the semifinal race remains as wide open as ever with hard-luck Ateneo hoping to rebound strong in the quarters.
