A win in the 12 noon duel against the Lady Generals will move the Lady Altas within a win of making it to the Final Four.

Still outside the top four, the Lady Knights hope to beat the Lady Bombers at 2 p.m. and make one final push to make it to the semis.

Perpetual is coming off a shock 20-25, 19-25, 16-25 loss to San Beda last Friday.

The Lady Altas are currently tied with the Lady Red Spikers in third place at 5-2.

College of Saint Benilde has already claimed the first semifinals berth with a 7-0 card, while defending champion Arellano University is already assured of a playoff at 6-1.

With a 3-3 mark, Letran seeks to catch San Beda and Perpetual in the race for the last semis berth.

The Lady Knights dropped a 14-25, 28-26, 19-25, 16-25 decision the Lady Chiefs last Tuesday.

The Lady Bombers, already eliminated with a 3-5 card, are aiming to end their campaign on a high note.
