After a stunning stumble against UP, the DLSU Lady Spikers aim to get back on track and lock in a Final Four spot when they take on the streaking Adamson Lady Falcons in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday, April 23.

Match time is at 3:00 p.m. from the Mall of Asia Arena.

At 8-4, La Salle needs just one more win to officially secure a semifinals seat — but that’s easier said than done against an Adamson side that has embraced the spoiler role with fearless fervor.

Though already eliminated from Final Four contention, the Lady Falcons (5-7) have found late-season form, pulling off back-to-back shockers over defending champion NU and current fourth-seed FEU.

La Salle, meanwhile, is still licking its wounds from a five-set heartbreak at the hands of UP — a loss that not only delayed the Lady Spikers’ Final Four qualification but also put their twice-to-beat bid in jeopardy.

With UST and FEU breathing down their necks, the Lady Spikers must quickly steady the ship, led by star hitter and former MVP Angel Canino.

For La Salle, the mission is clear: win and you’re in. But with nothing left to lose, Adamson promises to make them earn every point.
