San Beda seeks to sweep both the seniors and juniors crown as it clashes with St. Benilde and La Salle-Greenhills, respectively, today in the 92nd NCAA football tournament at the Rizal Football Field.
The Red Booters turned back the Arellano U Chiefs, last year’s champions, in a 1-0 decision Thursday and will sweep their way to the title if they could hurdle the Blazers in their 2 p.m. encounter.
The Junior Cubs, for their part, turned back the Juniors Chiefs, 4-1, also last Thursday and will clinch the crown and complete a football double if they could beat the Junior Blazers in their 10 a.m. duel.
San Beda has won all its 11 outings this season including two in the Final Four and a triumph will seal it its 22nd seniors crown, the most by any school as former league member La Salle slids to second with 21 titles.
For its juniors squad, it is eyeing its 17th championship, which would put it three titles shy of catching up with La Salle-Greenhills with 20.
SBC coach Michael Pediamonte said his team is looking forward to their showdown with St. Benilde.
“We’ve been looking forward for this game because we know this will be the most important match of the season for us,” said Pediamonte.
