THE LADY SPIKERS of the Ateneo will look to nail their third straight win when they take on the struggling Air Force today in the Shakey’s V-League over at the Arena in San Juan City.
The Lady Eagles fashioned out a pair of straight-set victories over Maynilad and Perpetual to kick off their drive for a second straight championship on a high note.
The Air Force spikers, in contrast, are coming off a pair of straight-set losses to San Sebastian and the Army.
Fille Cainglet, Ateneo’s leading scorer with a 16-hit norm after two games, will again lead the Loyola-based squad’s bid along with Alyssa Valdez, Angeline Gervacio, Gretchen Ho, Jamenea Ferrer and guest player Aerieal Patnongon.
But with former MVPs Aiza Maizo and Cherry Rose Macatangay expected to have finally settled down with the team’s play patterns, Air Force hopes to rebound from the two setbacks and stay in the hunt for one of the quarterfinal berths in the league sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
