Their men&#x27;s teams will also renew their rivalry at 11 a.m. The host school University of the Philippines will go head-to-head with the University of the East in the other women&#x27;s match at 1 p.m. following their men&#x27;s duel at 9 p.m. On Sunday, Ateneo de Manila University and Adamson University face off in the women’s division at 1 p.m., while their men&#x27;s squads battle it out in the day&#x27;s opening match at 9 a.m.</div>
