Far Eastern University stakes its unbeaten slate against an equally streaking College of Saint Benilde in a highly-charged duel highlighting the four-game bill in the V-League Women’s Collegiate Challenge at the Paco Arena in Manila Friday.
After racking up four victories in convincing fashions to gain a share of the lead with the idle University of the East side, the Lady Tams gear up for a stern test against the Lady Blazers in the 12 noon clash, ushering in the last three playdates in the single-round elims of the tournament organized by Sports Vision.
“Ang focus lang namin is one game at a time. Kung ano yung nasa harap namin, yun yung kailangan namin trabahuin,” said FEU interim coach Manolo Refugia. “Kung ano ‘yung pagkukulang namin sa bawat game, dodoblehin namin ang trabaho para makapaghanda kami sa CSB.”
The Lady Blazers, however, are also going flat-out to extend their own run to four in the event supported by Bola.TV, Beyond Active Wear, Asics and Mikasa.
Meanwhile, Lyceum and Enderun Colleges tangle at 10 a.m. in the first women’s clash.
In men’s play, La Salle seeks to bounce back from a five-set setback to National U as it faces Emilio Aguinaldo College at 2 p.m. while FEU and San Beda collide in the 4 p.m. main encounter.
The Green Spikers blew a 2-0 against the defending champions as Leo Aringo and Michaelo Buddin stepped up and ralliedc the Bulldogs to a 19-25, 23-25, 25-15, 25-22, 15-11 decision.
All games will be aired on Solar Sports, the V-League’s official website, and Bola.TV’s app.
