Defending champion De La Salle is looking to bounce back at the expense of also-ran Adamson when they collide in the second round of the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday, April 17, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Lady Spikers and the Lady Falcons face each other in the first offering of the women’s action at 2 p.m. before fellow Final Four returnee Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws tackle University of the East Lady Warriors at 4 p.m. 

Sans reigning Rookie of the Year-Most Valuable Player Angel Canino to carry a bulk of the load, La Salle is coming off a sorry four-set loss against two-time finals rival National University Lady Bulldogs last Sunday. 

Canino sustained a right arm injury which has sidelined her for the past three straight games.

Though recovering according to plan, there is no timetable for the young leader’s return to the court yet per the coaches. 

The Taft based squad fell to a 9-2 slate in the standings, still in the hunt for the twice-to-beat edge, while NU and University of Santo Tomas share similar 10-2 records for the top place. 

Sophomore opposite spiker Shevana Laput has stepped up in more than one occasion to fill the evident void left by Canino in the starting rotation. 

With FEU’s massive win over UST last week that assured the latter the remaining semifinal berth, Adamson has been eliminated from the race despite ending a six-game losing skid against University of the Philippines. 

At 3-8, the Lady Falcons are playing for pride and final position in the standings which is a far cry from their strong Final Four showing last season. 

Meanwhile, FEU (7-4) is seeking to make an even stronger cause for itself after securing its spot in the Final Four for the first time in five years. 

Under the guidance of rookie head coach Manolo Refugia, the Lady Tamaraws have gained massive confidence heading into their remaining elimination games. 

While the FEU is relishing the fruit of its labor, UE stayed at the bottom of the standings at 2-9. Still one game ahead of its one-win campaign last year. 

Following impressive opening day win against Ateneo last Feb. 17, rookie star Casiey Dongallo has been all alone in the offensive department with her consistent firepower, with no consistent help to turn to when she need it most. 

After its head coach Jerry Yee’s season-long suspension by the UAAP board due to ethical breach, UE found itself sluggish and far removed from its mighty form in the early eliminations.
