Colegio de San Juan de Letran and De La Salle-College Saint Benilde will battle for leadership when the top two teams meet anew on Saturday in NCAA Season 98.
Streaking Letran, which stands in second with a 10-3 card, will go at it with league-leading Benilde at 3 p.m. in a bid to take over the first spot while skidding University of Perpetual Help System DALTA and Lyceum of the Philippines University clash at 12 p.m.
The Knights are hoping to extend their win streak to eight to claim the top spot. Benilde, on the other hand, is riding a two-game winning streak after having defeated Mapua and Jose Rizal University.
Letran and Benilde had a wild meeting in the first round with the Knights nearly squandering a 15-point lead en route to an 81-75 victory as Brent Paraiso sizzled for 25 points.
That game, though, saw an undermanned Benilde side with sniper Migs Oczon missing out the match due to health and safety protocols.
In the first game, both Perpetual and Lyceum will look to arrest their respective slump.
The ALTAs are coming off a tough 73-65 loss to the Cardinals last Tuesday while the Pirates were dealt its first back-to-back losses, falling to Arellano and Letran.
