Games Sunday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre
12 noon – EAC vs San Beda (Men)
2 p.m. – Lyceum vs Mapua (Women)
The postseason for the NCAA Season 98 volleyball tournament is set to commence Sunday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan, with Lyceum and Mapua making their Final Four debuts, the former for the first time since joining the league in 2011, and the latter since they revived the program back in 2009.
The Lady Pirates and the Lady Cardinals will square off in the second game of the double-header at 2pm, with the winner facing the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta on Wednesday in a one-game semifinal at the same venue. Both teams finished the season with a 6-3 record.
Their lone meeting in the regular season took place last February 21, when Lyceum survived a five set marathon, 25-20 16-25 21-25 25-22 15-5.
Before that, the men take to the taraflex, with Emilio Aguinaldo College facing San Beda at noon.
Both finished the season at 6-3, but the Generals survived a five-set marathon against the Red Spikers in the previous meeting, 26-24 25-20 25-27 17-25 15-10.
The winner will face off against Arellano in a one-game semifinal, also on Wednesday.
The stepladder format was invoked due to elimination round 9-0 sweeps by the Altas in the men's division and the College of Saint Benilde Lady Blazers in the women's division, with the best-of-three finals scheduled to take place after the Holy Week break.
All matches will be broadcast LIVE on GTV and streamed on the Facebook and YouTube accounts of GMA Sports and NCAA Philippines.
