THE LADY spikers of Ateneo will try to keep their momentum going as they take on Perpetual Help even as the squads of the Army and Navy make their debuts today in the Shakey’s V-League Season 8 today at the Arena in San Juan City.
The Lady Eagles, chasing a second straight championship after toppling the Adamson spikers in the first conference, held off the Maynilad tossers in three tough sets, pulling off a 25-23, 25-17, 25-22 victory in Sunday’s opener of the league’s inaugural Open tournament.
Focus will also be on the 2 p.m. match between Army and Navy, two teams backstopped by former MVPs of the league. Rachel Daquis and Maiah Manukay head the Army side while Navy will be led by former two-time MVP Suzanne Roces and Nene Bautista. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
