In a rematch of last year’s Final Four, FEU targets another competitive affair against NU in UAAP Season 87.
The FEU Lady Tamaraws know what it takes to push the NU Lady Bulldogs to the limit, and they’ll aim to do it again when they meet on Sunday, February 23, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
FEU gave NU a serious challenge in last season’s Final Four, forcing a winner-take-all Game 2 before the Lady Bulldogs ultimately advanced.
Now at 1-1 for UAAP Season 87, the Lady Tamaraws hope to regain their form after a tough loss to UP, leaning on Faida Bakanke, Gerzel Petallo, and Chenie Tagaod to stand their ground against the defending champions.
Meanwhile, NU has started the season strong at 2-0, showing why it remains a title favorite.
With Vange Alinsug, Bella Belen, and Alyssa Solomon leading the charge, the Lady Bulldogs have been in fine form, looking to stay unbeaten.
FEU has already proven it can challenge NU when it matters. If the Lady Tamaraws can bring that same energy so early in the new season, they just might make this another battle to remember.
