OVERCONFIDENCE KILLS: Lady Bulldogs risk unbeaten mark vs Fighting Maroons
The NU Lady Bulldogs, currently undefeated at 8-0, will face the University of the Philippines in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament.
Team captain Bella Belen and star spiker Alyssa Solomon are leading the Lady Bulldogs, with Solomon recently withdrawing from the KOVO Draft to focus on their UAAP campaign.
NU aims to extend their unbeaten streak to 9-0, which would create further distance from their challengers.
In their previous match, NU secured a straight-sets victory over Season 85 championship rival De La Salle University.
NU head coach Sherwin Meneses emphasized the importance of maintaining composure, noting that no match is easy as teams are improving.
The Lady Bulldogs are the only unbeaten squad in the tournament, with La Salle, UST, and FEU tied for second place with 5-3 records.
