Far Eastern University stunned a seemingly invincible Ateneo side with a commanding three-set sweep, 25-18, 25-19, 25-22, in the UAAP Season 80 men’s volleyball tournament Sunday at Mall of Asia Arena.

The Tamaraws dealt the Blue Eagles’ their first loss in the UAAP since falling to Adamson in a five-setter in the first round of Season 78.

“This is a big win for us because this will give a very big boost in our confidence, I just hope that we won’t relax after this,” said FEU head coach Rey Diaz in Filipino.
