The Blue Eagles will face the defending NCAA champions Perpetual Help Altas at the Paco Arena in Manila, for a chance to clinch their fourth straight win in the tournament. Ateneo was supposed to face its rival De La Salle Green Spikers last Friday but the match was postponed due to torrential rains. Instead, they will return to action at 4 p.m. against the Altas in another four-game bill in the V-League. Perpetual, on the other hand, seeks to break a 2-2 card with a win that will bolster its own semis drive in the contest. In the other men’s clash at 2 p.m., National University and La Salle, with identical 2-1 slates, dispute solo third behind Ateneo and idle UST (4-1).
