Defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs attempt to keep their slate clean as they face a hot La Salle team in round 2 of UAAP Season 87.
The NU Lady Bulldogs look to extend their unbeaten run as they face the surging DLSU Lady Spikers in a highly-anticipated UAAP Season 87 rematch on Sunday, March 23, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
NU (7-0) dominated La Salle in their season opener, winning via a commanding straight-sets and will aim for a repeat performance behind MVP frontrunner Bella Belen and the rest of their battle-tested core.
Fresh off a five-set thriller against UST, the Lady Bulldogs are determined to keep their perfect record intact.
But La Salle (5-2) is in much better shape this time around, riding a four-game winning streak after sweeping FEU to close the first round.
With Shevana Laput, another MVP contender, leading the charge, the Lady Spikers are out for redemption.
Will Belen and NU reassert their dominance, or can Laput and La Salle turn the tide in their long-standing rivalry?
