San Sebastian shoots for a sweep as it clashes with defending champion St. Benilde even as Perpetual Help fights for dear life today in the women’s division of the 92nd NCAA volleyball tournament at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan City.
The Lady Stags overpowered the Lyceum of the Phl U Lady Pirates, 25-21, 25-19, 25-17, last Monday to nail their eighth straight win and another win in their 11 a.m. showdown will book the former an outright berth in the championship round where they are ensured of a thrice-to-beat edge.
Interestingly, San Sebastian also swept the elims last season to automatically advance to the finals before losing to eventual winner St. Benilde.
Now the Lady Stags want vengeance.
“We’ve been waiting for this game, we hope to do better this time,” said San Sebastian coach Roger Gorayeb in Filipino.
Meanwhile, Perpetual Help, currently at No. 5 with a 5-3 (win-loss) mark, aims to pull the rug from under Arellano U (7-1) at 12:30 p.m. and forge a playoff for a spot in the next round.
