Far Eastern University and College of Saint Benilde duke it out for the last quarterfinals twice-to-beat advantage in the final playdate of the 2025 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Preseason Unity Cup second round on Friday, Oct. 17, at the San Andres Gym in Manila.
Opening serve of the second match of a busy triple-header feature is set at 2 p.m.
The Lady Tamaraws and Lady Blazers sport identical 1-1 win-loss records in Pool F following a shaky campaign in the second round of the tournament, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R and B Milk Tea.
FEU, winner of the National Invitationals Batangas Leg, will come into the match riding the crest of its 23-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-20 victory over San Beda University last Wednesday.
The Lady Tamaraws are also looking to replicate their domination of CSB during the Invitationals to join University of Santo Tomas in the next phase, armed with an incentive.
On the other hand, the Tigresses seek to complete a sweep of the second round and formalize their entry into the quarters as the top seed in Pool F when it takes on the Lady Red Spikers at 4 p.m.
UST crushed FEU and CSB in straight sets as it primed up for a much-awaited first meeting with former mentor and now Lady Red Spikers head coach Kungfu Reyes.
“I think isa sa mga key factors ng sunud-sunod naming panalo is I think talagang teamwork. Kasi pinaghirapan namin ito. Lagi naming nire-remind ang isa’t isa na grabe ang sina-sacrifice namin araw-araw para sa tournament na ito,” said Tigresses setter Cassie Carballo.
“Isang malaking opportunity for us na ma-build namin yung chemistry namin before UAAP season,” she added.
San Beda aims to end the round on a high note after dropping its first two games to build momentum heading into the quarters of the competition, supported by Asics, Mikasa, Smart Sports, Summit, Team Rebel Sports, Belo Deo, Eurotel- Apo View Hotel, Batangas Country Club, Executive Optical, Baic Auto Philippines, SM Tickets and PusoP.com as technical partners.
Meanwhile, Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines try to end their Pool E run with a win in the curtain-raiser at 12 p.m.
Both teams have yet to score a win in the round after two starts.
The winner of the match will face the second-ranked team from Pool F in the crossover quarters while the loser collides with UST.
Four-peat-seeking National University is the No. 1 seed in Pool E, while Adamson University sits at No. 2.
Games in the SSL Preseason Unity Cup are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports.
