DLSU Lady Spikers hope to keep the win streak going in their first rivalry game against Ateneo in UAAP Season 87.
Jyne Soreño and the La Salle Lady Spikers aim to keep their momentum going as they clash with archrival Ateneo for their first meeting of UAAP Season 87 on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
After a shaky start to the season, La Salle (3-2) has seemingly found its rhythm, stringing together its first winning streak of the year.
Soreño, who provided a crucial spark off the bench in their victory over UE, will look to continue her impactful play as the Lady Spikers try to establish themselves as contenders.
On the other hand, the Blue Eagles (1-4) are battling adversity, reeling from both injuries and tough losses.
Their latest setback came against UST, and things got even more difficult when Sobe Buena went down with an injury.
With their lineup stretched thin, Lyann De Guzman is expected to take on a bigger role to keep Ateneo competitive in the rivalry match.
With La Salle gaining confidence and Ateneo desperate for a breakthrough win, the latest chapter of their storied rivalry promises to be intense. Expect a high-stakes battle when these two teams take the court on Wednesday.
