6th Shakey's V-league Best-of-three SEMIS GAME 2 SAN SEBASTIAN ON TO FINALS
San Sebastian- too strong to demolished.
The win gave the Lady Stags the ticket to Finals who will face the winner of the ongoing 6th Shakey's V-league semifinals duel between FEU and UST.
Adamson, with their key players failed to deliver, waived their chance to defend their crown. The absence of top falcons Nerissa Bautista and Joan Botor-Carpio proved to be fatal.

SKETCHPAD: 6th SHAKEY'S V-LEAGUE SEMIFINALS FORECAST UNIVERSITY OF STO. TOMAS vs FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY
The semis is on. Four teams have survived. But only two will remain. Who will be taking fame? Who will be weeping?
1- UST (5-0) vs 4- FEU (2-3)
Forecast: UST over FEU, 2-1
Dynasty against destiny. This series is a war.
The UST Tigresses have overall advantage as they have beaten FEU thrice this conference. But UST will miss the service of the "Thunderbolt M9". Michelle Carolino was off to Vietnam for beach volleyball until Sunday. There's a possibility that she can play if game 3 will be necessary. Therefore, they have to rely on Mary Jean Balse. Well, not really.
"Capt. Ice" Aiza Maizo is a lethal weapon who can scores anytime and blocks at her finest. Maika Ortiz, Judy Caballejo and Bernice Co are reliable. Of course, Dmac (that's Rhea Dimaculangan, the setter) is threatening.
UST is at its best this conference. Although they have the tendency to collapse with their floor defense, I stake my dime for them.

SKETCHPAD: 6th SHAKEY'S V-LEAGUE SEMIFINALS FORECAST SAN SEBASTIAN vs ADAMSON
The 6th Shakey's V-league 1st conference semifinals are kicking off and here's my- if not personal, deliberate opinions on what the future holds for the teams.
2- San Sebastian (4-1) vs 3- Adamson (3-2)
Forecast: San Sebastian over Adamson, 2-0
This series will be quick.
But Adamson will not quit just like that. They have pushed the Lady Stags to the edge during their last meeting though they have lost that one. And that's what makes the Lady Falcon dangerous. They can match up with any tough team.
San Sebastian must stay focus if they want to nail the series. They must be aware of these: Sang Laguilles whose net defense is undeniable and a power hitter; Jill Gustilo can explode anytime; Angela Benting is sure to come out strong and Best Rookie candidate Paulina Soriano is very dependable.
But without superpower Nerissa Bautista who was out for Vietnam Beach Volleyball with fellow SSC guest player Joan Botor-Carpio, the Lady Falcons have to play double time.
Adamson is sure to give San Sebastian a hard fight. Their "never-say-die" attitude will be perceptible. But with berets like Joy Pulido, Vernon Ancheta, Analyn Benito and Margarita Pepito, I bet my two cents for the Lady Stags to snatch this one.
