Adamson takes on College of Saint Benilde for the last Pool D playoffs berth in the 2024 Shakey’s Super League Collegiate Pre-season Championship Wednesday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Game time is set at 6 p.m. with the Lady Falcons looking to join pool leader Far Eastern University in the next round of the tournament backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, GCash, Chery Tiggo, F2 Logistics, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner, R and B Milk Tea and Summit Water.
Meanwhile, Ateneo faces also-ran Emilio Aguinaldo College at 3:30 p.m. in Pool A while eliminated Pool B teams Lyceum of the Philippines University and University of Perpetual Help System Dalta clash at 1 p.m.
Adamson marches into battle raring to rebound from a painful 25-16, 22-25, 33-31, 20-25, 13-15, defeat at the hands of the Lady Tamaraws despite the 35-point explosion of ace hitter Shaina Nitura last Saturday.
Sporting a 1-1 win-loss record, the Lady Falcons will secure a ticket to the next round-robin phase if they hurdle a winless yet well-rested Lady Blazers side.
Saint Benilde bowed to unbeaten FEU (3-0), 17-25, 25-21, 16-25, 19-25, in the three-time NCAA champion’s tournament debut last October 6.
The Blue Eagles, who are tied with Arellano University with identical 2-1 cards, look to bolster their playoffs hopes against the winless Lady Generals (0-3).
Ateneo defeated the Lady Chiefs, 25-17, 25-18, 25-18, last Saturday while EAC was swept by San Beda University, 18-25, 23-25, 22-25, in its previous outing.
On the other hand, the Lady Pirates carry a 1-2 slate while the Lady Altas are winless in two starts.
Already through to the next round of the competition supported by Smart Sports, PLDT Fibr, Mikasa, Asics, Rebel Sports, Eurotel, Victory Liner, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), SM Tickets as technical partners are FEU, Pool A leader and three-peat-seeking National University (3-0), Pool B’s University of Santo Tomas (4-0) and University of the East (3-1), and Pool C’s De La Salle University (3-0).
The Lady Tamaraws, Golden Tigresses and the second ranked teams in Pool A and Pool C will play in the next phase for the two twice-to-beat quarterfinals advantages at stake. The Lady Warriors, Lady Spikers, Lady Bulldogs and the second seed in Pool D will dispute the other two quarters incentives in their bracket.
