THE Perpetual Help Lady Altas aim for their fifth consecutive win when they face the Emilio Aguinaldo College Lady Generals on Saturday in the NCAA Season 100 Women’s Indoor Volleyball Tournament at the Arellano Gym in Legarda, Manila.
Lady Altas coach Sandy Rieta hopes to extend their winning streak in order to boost their morale as they approach the second round.
The Lady Altas enter the match following a four-set 25-12, 25-15, 21-25, 26-24 victory against Arellano University on March 7.
On the other hand, the Lady Generals suffered their third loss in four games, falling to the Mapua Lady Cardinals in a five-set match, 25-27, 21-25, 25-22, 25-19, 10-15.
Rieta, a Cavite native, will once again rely on rookie Jemalyn Menor, who scored 19 points against the Lady Chiefs, including 18 attack points and one service ace.
Key players Shaila Omipon, middle blockers Winnie Bedaña and Bea Uy, open hitters Pauline Reyes and Camille Bustamante, setter Fianne Ariola, and liberos Jodi Lozano and Marian Andal are also expected to contribute.
Meanwhile, the defending champion Perpetual Help Altas men’s spikers seek to rebound from a five-set loss to Arellano University when they battle the EAC Generals at 3 p.m.
