6th Shakey's V-league FINALS UST vs SAN SEBASTIAN HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

Raging University Sto. Tomas Tigresses will face their greatest challenge as they meet San Sebastian College Lady Stags in a best-of-three series for the 6th Shakey's V-league 1st conference crown starting this afternoon at 4 pm.

San Sebastian became the first team to hook up a spot after demolishing defending champion Adamson University Lady Falcons who will battle Far Eastern University Lady Tams for 3rd place in a best-of-three series at 2pm.

On the other hand, Sto. Tomas had to escaped a rubber match against FEU to gain a seat in the Finals.

UST had lost to Lady Stags last Season 5 2nd Conference Finals and now have the hope to bounce back and take what they thought was theirs.

Michelle Carolino, who's back from Beach Volleyball Tour from Vietnam, is expected to unload the attacks for UST alongside with superpower co-guest player Mary Jean Balse. To back them up are captain Aiza Maizo, Bernice Co, Judy Caballejo, Maika Ortiz and top setter Katrina Dimaculangan.

The Tigresses are favored to bag the crown, but the Lady Stags will not let it go that easy. They will be forefront by the dangerous Thai import Jaroensri Bualee and top spiker Laurence Latigay. They will get solid support from Vernon Ancheta, Joy Benito, Suzanne Roces and Sasa Devanadera.

UST coach Cesael De los Santos noted that in order for them to surpass the Lady Stags, they have to improve their receptions.
