San Beda, UE doubleheader highlights Ang Liga Saturday

It will be a hectic day at the La Salle Science and Technology Complex in Canlubang later today, as Ang Liga action resumes with four matches on its slate.

The morning doubleheader will feature both San Beda teams against separate opposition.

The early match at 8am features the Red Cubs as they face Malayan Colleges-Laguna in the lone Div II matchup scheduled. The Taytay-based squad seeks to ascend to solo second and reduce their deficit against current pacesetters Nazareth-NU in half. In contrast, MC-L is looking to not just procure their first points of the season after back-to-back defeats, but also to score their first goals of the tournament.

The latter morning match at 10am sees the Red Booters of Mendiola put themselves in a better position to make the postseason as they face Lyceum. The Pirates are currently third with 13 points, four ahead of San Beda, but the latter has two games in hand.

The afternoon doubleheader is a very unique situation, as UE will play a couple of its Division I matches back-to-back, albeit against struggling opposition.

The Recto-based student-athletes have a solitary point to their name in just three matches played. They are also seeking to score their first goals of the tournament. Winning both of these matches would vault them ahead of idle Ateneo for seventh place.

They will first face Emilio Aguinaldo College at 1pm, followed by their matchup against cellar-dwellers Perpetual Help at 3pm.
