MANILA, Philippines – La Salle and University of Santo Tomas fight for the No. 2 spot that comes with a twice-to-beat Final Four advantage in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament.
The Lady Spikers failed to put a lock on the semifinal bonus after dropping a five-set thriller against Far Eastern University on the last day of the eliminations last Sunday.
The loss put the defending champions in a tie with UST at 10-4 as Ateneo secured the top seed and the first twice-to-beat incentive with a 12-2 record.
The playoff match gets going at 3:30 pm on Wednesday, May 1, at the Filoil Flying V Centre.
