KEEPING its goal in mind, Far Eastern University goes for a share of the Group B lead in the Shakey’s V-League Season 13 Collegiate Conference Wednesday.

“The pressure will always be there,” said FEU skipper Remy Palma. “It’s about how you handle it. For us, our mindset is the V-League [is our training] exposure  for the UAAP.  That’s why we’re really preparing”

The Lady Tamaraws aim for a 2-0 start versus winless San Beda at 4 p.m. at Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

A win will put the Lady Tamaraws in a three-way tie for the Group B lead with idle University of Santo Tomas and University of the Philippines.

In Group A, Technological Institute of the Philippines tries to rebound from its first loss against Perpetual Help at 6 p.m.

The FEU men’s team (0-1), though, will gun for its first win versus St. Benilde (0-1) in Group A at 10 a.m. in the Spikers’ Turf Season Season 2 Collegiate Conference at 12 noon.

UST (1-0) also vies for the Group B lead versus San Beda (0-1) at noon.

The Lady Tamaraws opened their bid by upsetting NCAA champion St. Benilde, 25-16, 25-18, 25-18, behind the combined 31 points of Palma, Bernadette Pons and Toni  Basas.   With a report from Philip Martin Matel
