“Masaya kami. Di rin namin in-expect na straight sets yung panalo kasi defending champion ng NCAA yun, pero tingin ko first game lang din kaya naging ganun ang resulta,” said coach Shaq delos Santos.

FEU stressed its dominance in the third set, as it raced to an 8-0 lead to start the clincher. But the Lady Blazers fought back, with Santillan pulling St. Benilde to as close as two, 16-14, before the trio of Pons, Palma, and Basas helped the Lady Tamaraws pull away late.

“Meron pa rin namang ilalabas ang team namin. Kailangan lang din mapabilis para maging consistent kami,” said delos Santos.
