La Salle clinches Final Four spot after beating UE in five sets

Defending champion De La Salle University improved to a 9-1 record after surviving a scare from University of the East with a 25-23, 21-25, 25-17, 22-25, 15-12 win in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament.

La Salle has already secured a Final Four berth alongside top seed University of Santo Tomas and National University.

The Lady Spikers, currently second in the standings, aim to catch up with UST, while UE's record falls to 2-8.

In another match, Far Eastern University inched closer to a Final Four return after sweeping Adamson University, 25-19, 25-23, 25-23.

Faida Bakanke led FEU with 13 points, supported by Chenie Tagaod and Gerzel Petallo.
