THE storied rivalry between De La Salle University and Ateneo takes center stage on Sunday as the two teams face off in the 2024 V-League Men's Collegiate Challenge at the Paco Arena in Manila.

The Green Spikers, fresh off three consecutive victories, are set to test their mettle against a Blue Eagles squad struggling with a 1-2 record in the preseason tournament organized by Sports Vision.

La Salle has dominated its matches so far, but Ateneo is eager to reverse its fortunes.

In the 2 p.m. match, University of Santo Tomas will take on University of Perpetual Help System Dalta. Both teams are riding high from recent thrilling victories over NU and FEU, respectively, and will look to build on that momentum.

The Golden Spikers will rely on JJ Macam and Gboy de Vega, while the Altas will turn to Kobe Tabuga and Jefferson Marapoc to lead their charge.

In the lone women's match at 5 p.m., defending champion College of St. Benilde aims to secure its second consecutive win as it faces Colegio de San Juan de Letran at 5 p.m.

The Lady Blazers, currently holding a 1-2 record, are led by Wielyn Estoque and Zamantha Nolasco.

They will be challenged by Gia Maquilang, Marie Nitura, and the rest of the Lady Knights.
