The FEU Tamaraws take over solo first place early in the UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball tournament, powered by their sweep of four-time defending champion NU Bulldogs.
The UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament is heating up, with FEU emerging as the lone undefeated team after a statement win over NU.
Meanwhile, other contenders are already jostling for position this early, while some teams are still searching for their first victory.
Here’s how the teams are shaping up so far after the first full week of competition:
FEU Tamaraws (3-0)
FEU remains the only unbeaten team after a dominant stretch, sweeping both UP and four-time defending champions NU.
Their victory over NU was their first since 2019, solidifying their status as a top contender this season.
NU Bulldogs (2-1)
NU started the week strong with a win over Ateneo, but the champs suffered their first defeat at the hands of FEU in a stunning sweep. The Bulldogs will look to regroup after the rare straight-set loss.
Ateneo Blue Eagles (2-1)
Ateneo fell short against NU in four sets but responded well with a four-set victory over UP. With two wins under their belt, the Blue Eagles are staying in the mix near the top of the standings.
UST Golden Spikers (1-1)
UST picked up its first win of the season in dominant fashion, sweeping UE. The Golden Spikers will look to carry that momentum forward as they aim for a stronger start.
DLSU Green Spikers (1-1)
La Salle got on the board with a straight-set win over Adamson, bouncing back from a tough opening loss to NU.
UP Fighting Maroons (1-2)
UP had a rough stretch, losing back-to-back matches against FEU (via sweep) and Ateneo (in four sets).
UE Red Warriors (0-2)
UE struggled against UST, suffering a straight-set defeat. Still winless, the Red Warriors need to find a spark to get their season on track.
AdU Soaring Falcons (0-2)
Adamson also remains winless after falling to DLSU in straight sets. The Soaring Falcons will need to adjust quickly if they hope to stay in the fight for the Final Four.
