The DLSU Green Spikers target a third straight win in UAAP Season 87 with the UP Fighting Maroons standing in their way.
In the middle of an intense Final Four race, DLSU is ready to pounce on every opportunity presented.
The Green Archers are keen to boost their playoff bid in a UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball clash with the UP Fighting Maroons on Sunday, April 13, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Game time is at 11:00 a.m.
De La Salle is currently hanging on the fourth spot in team standings behind a 7-4 record, half-a-game behind the third-running UST Golden Spikers (8-4).
DLSU head coach Jose Roque fielded all of his 14 players in a 30-28, 25-16, 25-22 victory against the UE Red Warriors last time out for back-to-back wins.
Noel Kampton led the Taft-based squad with 13 points, while Eco Adajar delivered 16 excellent sets.
“We really need to balance ‘yung tao kasi mahaba pa ang liga, kapag mababad ‘yung starters ko baka sa dulo mahirapan kaya sabi ko sa bench, prepare yourselves kasi kayo dapat ang mag balanse niyan,” Roque told reporters in the post-game press conference.
Against the eliminated UP, DLSU eyes a third straight win as the Green Spikers cross paths with Adamson and FEU after the Holy week break.
