Out of the cellar, FEU moves closer to UAAP Finals stint
The Far Eastern University (FEU) Lady Tamaraws, ranked fourth, have stunned the top-seeded National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs with a 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 victory in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball semifinals.
This win eliminates NU's twice-to-beat advantage and forces a do-or-die match for a finals berth.
Chen Tagaod and Jen Asis led FEU with 23 combined points, while Mitzi Panangin contributed 10 points and Christine Ubaldo provided 16 excellent sets.
MVP candidate Bella Belen paced NU with 12 points, but her teammates struggled to score.
FEU aims to make a championship return for the first time since 2018, with the deciding match scheduled for Wednesday, May 8.
The team has transformed from a cellar-dweller with a historically bad finish in Season 84 to a legit title threat under coach George Pascua.
