MANILA, Philippines -- The Shakey's Super League (SSL) and the NCAA canceled their games on Sunday due to Super Typhoon Karding (international name: Noru), which is projected to make landfall in Luzon later in the day.

The Super League opened its Collegiate Conference on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum, with its final match pitting University of Santo Tomas vs. Adamson reaching the early hours of Sunday.

Its second game day was washed out by Karding, which reached super typhoon status at 5 a.m. after a "period of explosive intensification" of 90 kilometers per hour in 24 hours, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.
