The FEU Lady Tamaraws hope to rebound and reassert its UAAP Season 87 mastery over long-time rivals UST in their second round opener.
The FEU Lady Tamaraws look to bounce back in UAAP Season 87 as they face the UST Golden Tigresses on Sunday, March 23, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After an impressive three-game winning streak, FEU (4-3) stumbled to a shock sweep loss against La Salle to close out the first round of the women's volleyball tournament.
Now, with a fresh slate in round 2, the Lady Tamaraws will turn to Jean Asis, who aims for a strong offensive showing after a quiet outing in their last match.
Meanwhile, UST (5-2) also seeks redemption following a hard-fought five-set loss to NU.
The Golden Tigresses will once again rely on the dynamic duo of Angge Poyos and Reg Jurado to keep their hold on a top spot in the standings.
Adding fuel to the fire, FEU has a chance to complete a season sweep over UST, having already taken their first-round matchup all the way back from the season opener.
Can the Lady Tamaraws repeat, or will the Tigresses claw their way to victory? The battle for positioning in the Final Four race continues this Sunday.
