Men’s V-League: RTU drubs FEU for upper hand in bronze medal showdown

MANILA, Philippines—With their pesky style of play, the Rizal Technological University Blue Thunder kept their medal hopes alive after shocking the Far Eastern University Tamaraws 3-0, 36-34, 25-19, 25-22, in the men’s division battle for third of the Shakey’s V-League Season 11 Foreign Reinforced Conference at The Arena in San Juan Thursday afternoon.

Due to a superior quotient, the Blue Thunder now has better chances of winning the bronze medal over the Tamaraws should the Systema Active Smashers—already armed with a one-win advantage–sweep their best-of-three championship series against the Instituto Estetico Manila Volley Masters.

If IEM wins the second game, the both series will be extended to a winner-take-all affair.
