MANILA, Philippines – The most-awaited rematch of the University of the Philippines (UP) Lady Maroons and De La Salle Lady Spikers is coming sooner than expected as both teams collide Sunday, March 24, 4 pm, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
In the first round, the Lady Maroons pulled off an upset on the reigning champion, outlasting them in a five-set thriller that lasted for 2 hours and 26 minutes.
La Salle head coach Ramil de Jesus, though, has sent a warning that the Lady Spikers are determined to exact revenge on the two teams – including UP – that dealt them their two losses of the season. (For Milena: UST shocks La Salle in straight sets)
