MANILA, Philippines—The Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws marched onto the Arena in San Juan Wednesday afternoon and gored the University of the East Lady Warriors, 3-0, 25-14, 25-13, 25-19, during the 77th UAAP Women’s Volleyball tournament.
Burning with intensity after their humiliating loss against champions Ateneo last Saturday, the Lady Tamaraws were set to dismantle anything that got in their way to victory.
FEU swept UE for a 2-1 win-loss slate and kept the Lady Warriors winless in their first three games.
Despite the victory, FEU head coach Shaq Delos Santos said his team still has to improve its consistency, especially on their offensive charge.
“We need to train harder,” Delos Santos said. “The team performance still needs to improve, be aggressive on the floor and be consistent in the movements.”
“Our movements on the floor are still pretty much up-and-down.”
After clearly dominating the first two sets, FEU had a scare in the third, surrendering 19 points, but UE’s attempt proved to be futile.
Toni Rose Basas and Bernadeth Pons were on target for FEU combining for 23 points while Jerrili Malabanan was one timely addition off the Lady Tams’ bench with eight points across the last two sets.
UE team captain Maria Shaya Adorador was the lone bright spot for the Lady Warriors with 13 points.
