The National University Bulldogs V-LEAGUE PHOTOThe Bulldogs repulsed the Golden Spikers in the finals of this tournament and the UAAP last year with a full roster but they will set out for their 4 p.m. clash sans mentor Dante Alinsunurin and top hitter Nico Almendras and ace playmaker Owa Retamar. In contrast, UST is reeling from a 26-28, 25-18, 28-26, 25-21 defeat at the hands of De La Salle U last Friday. The Loyola-based squad turned back Emilio Aguinaldo College, 23-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-16, last Sunday, while the Red Spikers bowed to the Altas, 14-25, 17-25, 22-25 loss. Neighbors Lady Tams and Lady Warriors are coming off victories over the Lady Cards and the Enderun Lady Titans in straight-set fashions last Wednesday. But Mapua bounced back with a five-set reversal over Lyceum last Sunday while the Altas swept the Lady Stags last Friday.
