Thanks to traditional rank-based matchmaking, the undefeated La Salle Lady Spikers have a chance to quickly rehash their stunning demolition of the defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs at the 5 pm main event.
Powered by the terrifying trio of Fifi Sharma, Thea Gagate, and super rookie Angel Canino, La Salle aims to further demoralize their Season 84 finals tormentor, which in turn will need Bella Belen and Jen Nierva to return to their confident, dominant selves.

Under the leadership of Eya Laure, Cassie Carballo, and Regina Jurado, UST is dead-set on atoning its stunning sweep loss to an Adamson side spearheaded by Kate Santiago, Louie Romero, and super rookie Trisha Tubu.
Ateneo (2-5) vs UE (0-7)
The Ateneo Blue Eagles look to put their worst start in the Final Four era in the rearview mirror and start a new winning streak against the hard-luck UE Lady Warriors at the 9 am curtain-raiser.
Led by the star duo of Faith Nisperos and Vanie Gandler, Ateneo will have to fend off a win-hungry UE side bannered by Ja Lana and the surging Van Bangayan.
