The De La Salle Green Spikers will try to bounce back for a fifth straight win dating back to Season 86 against the Adamson Soaring Falcons.
Is the grass greener for La Salle the second time around?
Eco Aadajar and the Green Spikers aim for a quick bounce back in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament, taking on the Adamson Soaring Falcons, February 22, Saturday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre, San Juan, Manila.
DLSU opened their campaign with a straight defeat against the four-time defending champion NU Bulldogs.
Only Yoyong Mendoza managed to reach double-digit for the Taft-based squad in that loss with 10 points, while former Alas Men hitter Noel Kampton chalked up nine markers and nine excellent receptions.
The Green Spikers played without top hitter Vince Maglinao and the Bulldogs capitalized on that to jumpstart their title defense on a strong note.
Against a fellow bounce-back seeking Adamson side, Kampton and Mendoza, together with Nat del Pilar and MJ Fortuna, need to step up more to finally atone their season opening loss and get on board for Season 87.
Match time is at 3:00 p.m.
