Reigning champion National University and Far Eastern University lived up to their lofty billing by making short work of University of the East and Ateneo, respectively, to secure their Final Four tickets in the Shakey's Super League Collegiate Pre-Season Championship Season 2 on Sunday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.

Armed with win-once bonuses, the Lady Bulldogs, who swept Pool E, extended their unbeaten campaign with a 25-19, 25-21, 25-23 victory over the Lady Warriors as the Lady Tamaraws took down the Blue Eagles anew, 25-19, 25-18, 25-18.

NU will face the winner between Adamson and Arellano while FEU takes on either NCAA champion College of St. Benilde or University of Santo Tomas in the knockout semifinals.

St. Benilde stunned twice-to-beat armed University of Santo Tomas, 25-22, 23-25, 18-25, 25-23, 15-11, to force a decider in the other quarterfinal pairing while Adamson and Arellano were playing as of press time.

Reigning SSL MVP Alyssa Solomon unloaded 13 points on 11 hits, an ace and a block to lead the way for the Lady Bulldogs, who have yet to yield a single set in another magnificent run so far like their perfect campaign in the inaugural season.

Former UAAP Rookie-MVP Mhicaela Belen and rookie Arah Ellah Panique manufactured 10 points each while Evangeline Alinsug and Minierva Maaya had six and five points, respectively.
