REIGNING champion National U and challenger University of Santo Tomas lock horns in an all-UAAP duel as the Shakey’s Super League Collegiate Pre-Season Championship reaches its thrilling finale today at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
The game is at 5 p.m. with the Lady Bulldogs looking to draw first blood in the best-of-three titular showdown and move closer to another perfect season.
NU swept the inaugural season capped by a dominant finale show against La Salle before drawing another UAAP rival in UST this time for the crown of SSL Season 2.
Included in NU’s amazing run that season was a 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-17 win over UST in the knockout semifinals.
Preserving a perfect run so far is not the goal, warned coach Norman Miguel, as the Lady Bulldogs want no less than the ultimate championship prize regardless of the sets needed to do it.
