MANILA, Philippines — De La Salle took a look at the title favorites in the UAAP Season 84 junior women’s volleyball tournament.

While it’s still early days to tell, Lady Spiker will know how far they’ve come against National University in Tuesday’s unbeaten teams clash.

“Watching NU earlier against Ateneo, they really showed their strength,” DLSU assistant coach Benson Bocboc said in Filipino on Saturday.

“For us, we are still adjusting. But hopefully on Tuesday we can show more of Lady Spiker’s capabilities,” he added.

Against Adamson on Wednesday, La Salle showed off his formidable net defence with nine marked interceptions 25-21, 25-20, 25-14 sets.

The only concern for the Lady Spikers so far is that they are prone to slow starts. They dropped the first episode against Ateneo on Thursday before asking for the next three.

La Salle hopes to start this time against NU, who also won convincingly against Adamson and needed just four sets to knock Ateneo out in the first two games.

“We know what we are capable of. We just have to practice and show what we’ve been training for during the game,” said Fifi Sharma of the Philippines, who helped La Salle raise the bar in the first few games.
