Fresh off of a three-set upset of the UST Golden Tigresses, the Adamson Lady Falcons eye another big win against La Salle in UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball.
The unbeaten DLSU Lady Spikers face a stern test against the dangerous Adamson Lady Falcons as UAAP Season 88 action continues on Wednesday, March 11, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The 1:00 p.m. showdown headlines a twin bill that will also feature the UP Fighting Maroons taking on the UST Golden Tigresses, with both matches airing live on One Sports and Pilipinas Live.
La Salle (5-0) enters the contest determined to preserve its spotless record and remain at the top of the standings.
The Lady Spikers have looked dominant through the first stretch of the season, combining disciplined floor defense with a balanced attack that has kept opponents on their heels.
Amie Provido will be one of the focal points for the Taft-based squad as she anchors the middle.
Provido delivered eight points in their most recent victory over the UE Lady Warriors and is expected to play a key role at the net when La Salle squares off against Adamson’s high-powered offense.
Standing across from them is an Adamson side brimming with confidence.
The Lady Falcons improved to 3-2 behind a commanding straight-sets win over the UST Golden Tigresses, powered by a sensational outing from Shaina Nitura.
The Adamson ace erupted for 22 points in that match — a performance that earned her Player of the Week honors and reaffirmed her status as one of the league’s most dangerous scorers.
With Nitura leading the charge, Adamson will be eager to test La Salle’s unbeaten run and pull off what would be one of the season’s biggest upsets so far.
Meanwhile, the second match of the day features two teams eager to bounce back.
UP (3-2) turns to captain Joan Monares, who recently returned from a back injury and scored eight points in their last outing.
The Fighting Maroons will need her leadership even more as they navigate injuries within the roster, including a setback to star spiker Casiey Dongallo.
UST (2-3), for its part, hopes to steady the ship after a turbulent start to its campaign.
Xyza Gula will look to provide more support for the Golden Tigresses after finishing with four points in their previous game against Adamson.
