BUOYED by their opening game wins, four teams seek to gain a share of the early lead today in the 86th UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Defending champion La Salle and Far Eastern University clash in the 2 o’clock curtain raiser, while young talent-laden squads University of the East and University of Santo Tomas duel at 4 p.m.
The Lady Spikers showed they could win despite losing Jolina dela Cruz, Mars Alba, Fifi Sharma, and libero Justine Jazareno.
Behind holdovers in Angel Canino, Julia Coronel, Thea Gagate, Em Povido, and Lyka de Leon, La Salle whipped Adamson University, giving coach Ramil de Jesus his 300th victory.
Aiming for back-to-back UAAP titles, there is still room for improvement for the Lady Spikers, who have the tallest roster in the league.
