The Far Eastern University Tamaraws concluded the first round of the UAAP Season 86 men's volleyball tournament with a dominant sweep against the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles.
FEU's victory improved their standing to 6-1, largely attributed to a one-week break that allowed the team to address errors and refine their strategies, according to head coach Eddieson Orcullo.
The Tamaraws showcased a balanced offensive performance, with at least five players scoring eight or more points, led by Martin Bugaoan's 12 points.
Despite a strong effort from JM Salarzon, who scored 15 points for Ateneo, the Blue Eagles couldn't overcome FEU's consistent attacks and errors, ultimately falling in three sets (25-23, 25-22, 25-19).
Key contributions from Bugaoan and Dryx Saavedra in the third set helped FEU break away from Ateneo, securing their win.
The match, which lasted one and a half hours, saw Ateneo end the first round with a 3-4 record.
