MANILA, Philippines - Colegio San Agustin (CSA) and King’s Montessori School (KMS) collide in a duel for the second semifinal berth as action in the Shakey’s Girls Volleyball League NCR leg shifts to the Toby’s Sports Arena in Pasig today.

With a 3-1 slate, the CSA tossers need one more win to join unbeaten Angelicum College (4-0) in the crossover semis but the KMS side, toting a 2-1 mark, is out to foil CSA bid and fuel its own Final Four drive in Pool B of the two-division tournament sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza and organized by Metro Sports.
