RAGING TAMARAWS: FEU overpowers UP in UAAP ‘volley’
Far Eastern University (FEU) secured a Final Four spot in UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball by defeating the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons in four sets, 25-21, 25-16, 14-25, 26-24.
The win improved FEU's record to 7-4, tying them with the UST Golden Tigresses for third and fourth spots, and keeps them within striking distance of second-running La Salle.
FEU holds the tiebreaker edge over UST due to an earlier season victory.
The victory pushed UP down to fifth place at 5-6, two games off the Final Four pace.
FEU's Faida Bakanke led the team with 20 points, including 17 attacks, while Gerz Petallo and Chen Tagaod contributed 14 points each.
FEU initially seemed poised for a straight-sets win, but UP forced a de facto extension of the match by winning the third set.
In the crucial fourth set, UP surged to a 20-16 lead before FEU fought back, securing the victory with a late surge and a match-sealing block.
