PVL collegiate play on tomorrow

MANILA, Philippines — Twelve of the country’s leading colleges and universities, led by the reigning champions from the UAAP and NCAA, gear up for a two-month long duel of power, guts and styles in pursuit of the crown in the Premier Volleyball League Season 3 Collegiate Conference firing off tomorrow at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan.

Ateneo, which ended a four-year title spell with a sweep of UST in the UAAP finals last May, and Arellano U, which completed a three-peat in the NCAA last February by beating the very same team – Perpetual Help – to score a “slam” in the league five years ago, spearhead their respective sides in the two-group tournament set on weekends so as not to disrupt the ongoing Open Conference of the league organized by Sports Vision.

Joining Ateneo in Pool A are Perpetual, Adamson, San Beda, San Sebastian and Letran while completing Pool B are College of St. Benilde, Lyceum of the Phl U, Technologica Institute of the Phl, UST and Far Eastern U.
