/ 06:06 PM September 12, 2015

Despite the absence of star Dindin Santiago-Manabat, the second seeded National University found the firepower to defuse Far Eastern University, 25-15, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23, Saturday to zero in on the other finals berth in the Shakey’s V-League Collegiate Conference.

Jaja Santiago and Myla Pablo played true to form and combined for 37 points for the Lady Bulldogs, who could knock out the pesky Lady Tamaraws for good on Sunday in game two.

Skipper Jorelle Singh chipped in 11 points for NU, which recovered from a shaky third set to finish off FEU.
