5:30 p.m. — FEU vs DLSU

De La Salle University takes the spotlight when it begins its title quest in the Shakey's Super League Collegiate Pre-season Championship against Far Eastern University on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Expect nothing but exhilarating action when the two fierce University Athletic Association of the Philippines rivals meet in the featured 5:30 p.m. Pool D pairing of the quadruple-header playdate.

Also scheduled to debut in the tournament are Ateneo de Manila University and Arellano University which will clash at 3 p.m. in Pool C.

Elsewhere, University of Santo Tomas seeks its second win in the 10 a.m. Pool B match against San Sebastian College while University of the East and University of Perpetual Help dispute the solo lead in Pool A at 12:30 p.m.

But all eyes will be on the Lady Spikers, especially on their prized rookie Angel Canino.

The highly-recruited freshman gets her first chance to showcase what she could bring to the table against the Lady Tamaraws handled by her former high school coach Tina Salak.

"Everything will be new to me so I'm looking forward to this game," the former UAAP girls' volleyball Most Valuable Player said.

Canino was Salak's main gunner when De La Salle-Zobel scored a championship upset over then five-peat-seeking Nazareth School of National University in 2018.

Salak knows her former ward very well and now as rivals, she will try to exploit her familiarity with the Ilongga spiker for FEU's advantage.
