Ateneo and Lyceum go for crucial wins against a pair of tough opponents as they try to hold off the fifth-running Lyceum in their battle for the last two semifinal berths in the Shakey’s V-League Season 7 second conference at The Arena in San Juan this Thursday.

The Lady Eagles, in third behind joint leaders and early semifinalist San Sebastian-Excelroof and Adamson (8-2), shoot for their seventh win in 10 games against the streaking Lady Falcons at 4 p.m. while the Pirates, in fourth with a 5-4 slate, take on the Lady Stags in the 6 p.m. main game.

FEU, one game behind Lyceum at 4-5, squares off with National University in the 2 p.m. opener, hoping to stay in the hunt for the last Final Four berth in the tournament sponsored by Shakey’s Pizza.
