(UPDATED UAAP FINAL FOUR SCHEDULE)
The UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball Final Four culminates with a showdown between No. 1 NU Lady Bulldogs and No. 4 FEU Lady Tamaraws for the last finals berth on May 8, Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Lady Bulldogs, led by the trio of Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, and Vange Alinsug, look to bounce back and claim a third consecutive finals appearance, after a stunning straight-set loss to the Lady Tamaraws on Saturday.
FEU, spearheaded by Chenie Tagaod and Tin Ubaldo, proved its second-round surge was no fluke after snapping NU’s seven-game streak with an impressive 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 win.
