The UST Golden Tigresses and DLSU Lady Spikers will face off for the third time in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament—this time in the Final Four.
The Final Four of the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament is set to begin this weekend—and UAAP fans could not get any more excited than this.
Four teams remain in the hunt for the UAAP crown—National University, the University of Santo Tomas, the defending champions De La Salle University, and Far Eastern University.
With both NU and UST grabbing the elusive twice-to-beat advantage, it’s now up to La Salle and FEU to force a deciding match for a Finals spot in the tournament.
So, how will this weekend turn out? Let’s check out the schedule.
May 4, 2024 (Saturday)
NU vs FEU (4:00 p.m.)
Fresh off their win against the FEU Lady Tamaraws last Wednesday, the NU Lady Bulldogs will look to replicate their success against the Morayata-based squad on Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao at 4:00 p.m.
After going undefeated in the second round, NU will eye their third straight finals appearance and a chance to reclaim the crown once more.
But the Lady Tamaraws will try to have a say in that as they look to finally put the pieces together and solve the Lady Bulldogs.
