Winners of nine of their last 10 meetings against UP, the DLSU Green Spikers hope to assert their mastery over the Fighting Maroons for a bounce back victory in UAAP Season 87.
The DLSU Green Spikers will try to regain their winning ways in UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball against the UP Fighting Maroons Sunday, with first serve set for 9:00 a.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
La Salle stumbled in its last outing against UST, surrendering a four-set loss to the Golden Spikers to slip to a 1-2 record.
Star hitter Noel Kampton, who exploded for 24 points in their first win over the Adamson Soaring Falcons, was limited to just six points in the UST game.
The trio of MJ Fortuna, Emman Fernandez, and Eric Layug also posted just six points each, while Eco Adajar dished out 14 excellent sets.
However, a bright spot for the DLSU is the return of outside hitter Vince Maglinao after missing the first two games due to an ankle injury.
Beating UP in nine of their last 10 encounters dating back to Season 79, the Green Spikers hope to reignite their season with another win over the Fighting Maroons.
