The Final Four kicks-off with defending champion Arellano University Lady Chiefs and San Beda University Lady Red Spikers at 2 p.m., followed by number one team College of Saint Benilde Lady Blazers against fourth-seeded University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Lady Altas at 4 p.m.

CSB, AU, and SBU are all entering the Final Four with an 8-1 record but are ranked 1-2-3 based on points earned, set quotient, and point quotient, with the Lady Altas completing the semifinals cast with 6 wins and 3 losses in the eliminations.

The CSB Lady Blazers and AU Lady Chiefs, who have twice-to-beat advantage, hope to finish their respective match-ups behind top players Rachel Austero and Necole Ebuen, respectively. The two squads have won the championships in the past three years, with CSB clinching the title in Season 91 before Arellano went back-to-back in Seasons 92 and 93.

Standing in their way, however, are two teams that are still high from big wins. Veteran spiker Cesca Racraquin and San Beda broke Arellano’s eight-game winning streak and prevented a stepladder semis via a gutsy five-set win 16-25, 25-17, 25-19, 18-25, 16-14  last Tuesday (January 15). Meanwhile, UPSHD claimed the fourth spot at the expense of the Jose Rizal University Lady Bombers, 25-13, 19-25, 25-21, 25-14, in a match that saw Lady Altas spiker Cindy Imbo doing it all on offense and defense with 18 points, 22 digs, and nine receptions.
