Pacesetting and reigning women's titlist La Salle takes on cellar-dwelling University of the Philippines on Wednesday with the Lady Archers aiming to extend their winning run to five in the 74th UAAP volleyball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.
Game time is 2 p.m. with the Lady Maroons also hoping to snap a four-game slump this season.
Camille Cruz is a doubtful starter after the La Salle rookie hurt her knee after a bad fall in the third set in the Lady Archers’ game against the FEU Lady Tamaraws.
But La Salle still has lethal attacker Abigail MaraƱo, top blocker Michelle Gumabao, setter Mika Esparanza and the reliable Cha Cruz in its vast arsenal. Mika Reyes and Ara Galang are also ready to contribute to the Lady Archers’ cause.
"We must not be complacent in our game. We need to be prepared every time we play because you can't predict the outcome of the game. I just told my players to stay focused and as much as possible minimize our errors," said La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus.
The Lady Archers are coming off a marathon five-set win over FEU, 25-22, 25-15, 23-25, 23-25, 15-11.
UST, last year's losing finalists, will also try to clinch a third straight win when it takes on University of the East (UE) at 4 p.m.
Men's action pits UST against National University at 9 a.m. and Far Eastern University (FEU) against UE at 10:30 a.m. —
