Lopez, Petallo lead FEU to first win over DLSU since Season 81
Far Eastern University (FEU) secured their first win against De La Salle University in six years, with scores of 25-20, 28-26, 20-25, and 25-23.
This victory concludes the elimination round for both teams, with FEU and La Salle ending with identical 9-5 win-loss records.
FEU's head coach Tina Salak expressed overwhelming joy, highlighting the long wait since their last win in 2019.
Gerz Petallo was the top scorer for FEU with 19 points, and rookie Lovely Lopez also shone in crucial moments.
Angel Canino's 25-point performance for La Salle was not enough to secure a victory for her team.
Despite the win, FEU will be seeded fourth due to a lower set ratio, while La Salle will take the third spot.
The final seeding and potential for a playoff for a twice-to-beat advantage for La Salle depend on the outcome of the University of Santo Tomas vs. National University match.
