Golden Spikers sweep Tamaraws to force a rubber match
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Spikers forced a do-or-die Game 3 against the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws in the UAAP Season 86 men's volleyball Final Four by winning the first match.
UST secured a straight-set victory with set scores of 25-23, 25-19, and 28-26 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Reigning MVP Josh Ybañez led the Golden Spikers with 16 points, 10 of which were on hits, along with 13 receptions and six digs.
This win avenges UST's elimination round losses to FEU, who had swept them twice, and revives their bid for a second straight finals appearance.
The decider match will be played on Wednesday, May 8, at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Should UST win, they will face the winner of the other semifinal pairing between the National University and De La Salle Green Spikers, after NU clinched the last twice-to-beat bonus by defeating La Salle in five sets.
