NU seeks win no. 9 as the defending champion Lady Bulldogs duel against UP in the second round of UAAP Season 87.
Alyssa Solomon and the NU Lady Bulldogs look to keep their dominant run intact as they face the UP Fighting Maroons in the second round of UAAP Season 87 on Wednesday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Still undefeated at 8-0, NU has been nothing short of unstoppable this season, with reigning Finals MVP Solomon leading the charge alongside two-time MVP Bella Belen.
The Lady Bulldogs have showcased their firepower all season long, and against a struggling UP squad, they are heavily favored to extend their winning streak.
Meanwhile, UP (3-5) is desperate for a bounce-back performance after a tough loss to Ateneo.
Stuck in the lower half of the standings, the Fighting Maroons need a breakthrough win to stay in the Final Four race. Joan Monares will be tasked with leading UP’s upset bid, but they will need to be at their best to challenge the defending champions.
Can NU continue its reign at the top, or will UP find a way to shake up the standings?
