MANILA, Philippines – Top-seed Far Eastern University (NU) and No. 2 National University (NU) start off as the slight favorites as they face off against Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines (UP), respectively, in the Final 4 of the V-League Season 13 Collegiate Conference.

The Lady Tamaraws swept the Lady Eagles in straight sets in the final quarterfinals game last Wednesday to clinch the top-seeding.

But Ateneo brought down the San Sebastian College last Saturday, also in straight sets, to secure the last spot in the Final Four and set up a rematch against FEU.

The Lady Tams and the Lady Eagles clash at 4 p.m. on Monday at the Philsports Arena.

FEU will have the edge in experience over the young Ateneo squad, but head coach Shaq delos Santos remains way of the Lady Eagles who showed some firepower in their playoff against San Sebastian.

Ateneo coach Tai Bundit is expected to come up with key adjustments in order to neutralize the Lady Tamaraws and their powerful spikers like Bernadeth Pons and Toni Rose Basas.

Skipper Michelle Morente and Kim Gequillana, meanwhile, are tabbed to lead Ateneo's charge along with veterans Bea de Leon and Jia Morado.

Meanwhile, the Lady Bulldogs face a vastly-improved UP side in the main game at 6 p.m.

In the Spikers' Turf, Ateneo and NU look to seal a showdown for the crown in the Season 2 Collegiate Conference as they gun for sweeps over De La Salle University and University of Santo Tomas, respectively, on Monday morning.

Ateneo, the defending champion, survived a tough La Salle side, 25-16, 17-25, 25-23, 26-28, 15-7, last Saturday while the Bulldogs held off the Tigers, 25-21, 25-21, 25-23, to inch closer to a Finals berth.
