Once again, the fierce rivals of the University of Santo Tomas and the room will engage in what is practically a better of the three for Square 2 of the women’s volleyball tournament of the 87 UAAP season.
Match 1 is the Knockout for a protection of twice to the beat on Wednesday. Match 2 is the start of the Final Four on Saturday, where the winner of the “Game 1” can make his way to a championship berth.
If the team that falls in third place wins the match on Saturday, it will require a direct elimination match – a decisive match 3, if you want.
Everything for what? A shot at the National University of slaughter n ° 1.
“I am happy that (naked) is just waiting, Hayahay Buhay (such an easy life),” said the captain of the UST Detdet Pepito. “So take your time while we are fighting hard.”
Then, addressing the friend and star of the Nu, Bella Belen, Libero Ace continued to lie the post-match press which followed the victory of Lady Bulldogs 23-25, 25-17, 25-18, 22-25, 15-9 the victory on Sunday evening on the Tigresses with more of his humor.
“I want you to think more about (the game) earlier. I want you to have chosen us as opponents of your finals,” joked Pepito.
UST would have won Place No. 2 with a victory against naked, which had nothing in play in the scheduled meeting on Sunday evening. But the Lady Bulldogs have kept honest things, displaying the form and the will that makes the UAAP calendar remaining a delay of the inevitable.
Pepito was only one thing serious: “We always want to face (naked) in the final.”
She and her intrepid tigresses will have to do so.
No more preparation, rest
UST confronts the room at 2 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena, seeking to take the first step towards a revenge match of the championship fight last year.
The Lady Spikers are there to make sure that it does not happen.
The room will enter the very important match after having more time to prepare. Lady Spikers are also heading for the match with an additional day of rest. These could be essential in the direct elimination match.
The room is sold in its mind, hoping to rewrite the end of a story that has proven strangely similar to that of last year.
“We are happy to reach this situation and I hope we can manage it,” said UST coach Kungfu Reyes. “We will do our best to pass through this Final Four.”
