    UNIVERSITY of Perpetual Help aims to move closer to a second straight title when it takes on a San Sebastian squad that’s looking for a payback in Game One of the NCAA women’s volleyball Finals at The Arena in San Juan on Saturday.

    After a three-game sweep of the single-round semifinals, the defending champion Lady Altas hope to continue their run and gain a headstart of the best-of-three title series when they face the SSC spikers at 4 p.m.

    "Gusto na namin manalo sa Game One para nasa momentum na," said Perpetual Help captain and the league’s reigning MVP Sandra delos Santos. "Para kahit petiks na lang sa Game Two, may reserba na."

    Drawing first blood is easier said than done for the Las Piñas-based tossers, though, as they face a San Sebastian team that’s definitely looking for vengeance against their finals tormentors two years ago.

    It was the Lady Altas who snapped the SSC spikers’ six-year title run in 2011.

    With super rookie Gretchel Soltones expected to come up with another explosive performance, the Recto-based squad will definitely put up a fight.

    "Bilog ang bola, pero syempre gagawin namin lahat para manalo," said San Sebastian skipper Ara Mallare. "Confident kami na mananalo sa Game One kasi bakit pa maglalaro kung walang confidence?"
