MANILA, Philippines — La Salle’s shattered title-retention bid after a Final Four exit will only make Angel Canino and the Lady Spikers next UAAP women’s volleyball season.

The Lady Spikers ended their reign with a heartbreaking 25-20, 16-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-7 loss to the twice-to-beat UST Tigresses in the Season 86 women’s volleyball Final Four on Sunday at Mall of Asia Arena. FULL STORY

University of Santo Tomas didn’t come this far just to see a rare opportunity fritter away.

Aware that a twice-to-beat edge cannot be toyed with, the Tigresses pulled off an anxiety-filled 25-20, 16-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-7 win over the La Salle Lady Spikers in a return trip to the Finals at the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament on Sunday night.

Angeline Poyos exploded with 28 points built around 25 attacks and Jonah Perdido contributed 18 as the Tigresses ended the reign of their rivals for a chance to capture the crown that eluded them five seasons ago. FULL STORY

MANILA, Philippines — In a span of three years under three different coaches, Far Eastern University has turned from a cellar-dweller into a legit title threat.

The last time the Lady Tamaraws made the Final Four was in Season 81 which ended in an elimination loss to eventual champion Ateneo.

On Saturday, FEU moved on the cusp of ending a six-year finals drought after pulling off a stunning 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 win over top seed National University to force a rubber match in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball Final Four. FULL STORY

Unfazed in battling an opponent it hasn’t beaten all season long, Far Eastern University played with the biggest weapon it had, the belief in itself, to get to fight another day in the Final Four of the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament.

A 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 bamboozling of No. 1 ranked National University (NU) on Saturday at Smart Araneta Coliseum could have also turned the psychological advantage in their favor as the Lady Tamaraws took the best that the Lady Bulldogs could dish out and still won with plenty to spare. FULL STORY
