April 24, 2024 (Wednesday)
Ateneo vs. Adamson (2:00 p.m.)
The Battle of the Birds will kick off the exciting week as the Ateneo Blue Eagles face off against the Adamson Lady Falcons.
Both teams had a rather disappointing Season 86 but are looking to end the tournament on a good note.
In the first round, the Blue Eagles soared high to overcome a tough challenge from the Lady Falcons, winning in four sets, 25-19, 25-19, 22-25, 25-23.
Both coming off losses in their previous match, Ateneo and Adamson will look to have something to smile about as they end their Season 86 campaign.
NU vs FEU (4:00 p.m.)
Two of the hottest teams in the league will face off as the red-hot NU Lady Bulldogs will face off against the streaking FEU Lady Tamaraws.
The Lady Bulldogs, who have yet to lose a game in the second round, will look to secure the top spot and the twice-to-beat bonus by beating the Lady Tamaraws, who have won five in a row.
FEU, on the other hand, will look to play spoiler and continue their impressive run heading into the Final Four.
A loss against FEU will send the NU down to the third spot where they will have a playoff for the twice-to-beat advantage between either DLSU or UST.
