Lady Blazers fancied to crack playoffs

MANILA, Philippines — St. Benilde spikes for the last playoff ticket from Pool D against San Sebastian College-Recoletos in the 2024 Shakey’s Super League Collegiate Pre-Season Championship today at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Game time is at 11:30 a.m. with the Lady Blazers looking to be the lone NCAA team in the next round, joining seven UAAP teams.

The three-time NCAA champion on Wednesday took down Adamson, 25-13, 25-22, 25-19, to potentially spoil an all-UAAP playoffs and control its own fate at 1-1.

Far Eastern U (3-0) already topped Pool D, National U (3-0) and Ateneo (3-1) led Pool A, Santo Tomas (3-0) and University of the East (3-1) headlined Pool B with La Salle (3-0) and University of the Philippines (1-1) spearheading Pool C.

And the pressure is now on the Lady Blazers to take care of business.

A win by St. Benilde would assure it a playoff spot while a loss would give way to a triple-tie with Adamson (1-2) and San Sebastian (0-2). In such scenario, the Lady Falcons would hold a superior quotient to advance and make it an all-UAAP playoffs.
