NU set to claim top seed in UAAP HS volleyball

National University continues to hold serve atop both divisions of high school volleyball heading into the penultimate set of matches in the UAAP at the Adamson Gym.

The Lady Bullpups are assured of the top seeding in the Final Four of the girls' division after defeating UE, 25-15 25-22 and 25-14. They now tote a 10-1 record.

Last season's finalists UST secured the other available twice-to-beat advantage at 9-2, as the Junior Tigresses beat La Salle-Zobel, 25-18 25-16 and 25-15.

In spite of the defeat to UST, the Junior Lady Spikers are assured of the third seed.

The race to the fourth seed will be determined on the final day, as 5-6 UE will need to win against La Salle-Zobel to snatch the berth. Otherwise, Adamson and FEU-Diliman still have a chance to secure the right to go against the defending champions next week.

On the boys' side, the Bullpups are just one win away from an automatic finals bid after a marathon against UST, 26-28 25-6 18-25 25-21 and 15-12. Defeating La Salle-Zobel will assure them that and its incentive of a thrice-to-beat advantage.

Long-time champion UE also survived a grueling duel against FEU-Diliman, 18-25 25-19 20-25 25-20 and 15-13 to go 9-2 and secure the other twice-to-beat advantage. In spite of the loss, the Baby Tamaraws are locked in as the third seed.

Ateneo and UST remain locked in a battle for the fourth seed at 5-6
