FEU's Cinderella run ends in Final Four loss to NU

The FEU Lady Tamaraws' Cinderella run in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament ended after they were swept by the NU Lady Bulldogs in their do-or-die Final Four series.

FEU, the fourth seed, couldn't sustain their momentum from a Game 1 stunner and ultimately lost to the twice-to-beat NU in a decisive Game 3.

Rookie Faida Bakanke expressed that while the loss was heartbreaking, the team needs to learn from their mistakes to bounce back stronger next year.

Coach Manolo Refugia encouraged his players to keep their heads up, acknowledging their achievement in bringing the team back to the Final Four after two seasons.

Key players like Chen Tagaod and Tin Ubaldo, along with Bakanke, are expected to lead the team next season, as there are no graduating players.

The team is anticipated to return stronger next season with their newfound experience and teamwork.
