After defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs, the rest of the Final Four contenders all share the same record as round 2 heats up in UAAP Season 87.
The second round of the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament is underway, with NU continuing its dominant run by staying undefeated.
NU (8-0) remains the only perfect team in the standings, extending its winning streak with a four-set victory over La Salle. The Lady Bulldogs are proving to be truly unstoppable as they look to defend their crown.
La Salle (5-3) may have lost to NU in four sets, but the Lady Spikers still managed to jump from third to second place in the standings. Their strong performances earlier in the season gave them just enough to take the edge in tiebreakers to start the second round.
FEU (5-3) made a statement by once again defeating UST in four sets, pulling themselves into a three-way tie for third place. The Lady Tamaraws are emerging as serious contenders in the Final Four race.
UST (5-3) suffered a four-set loss to FEU, dropping them from second to fourth place in the standings. With back-to-back losses, the Golden Tigresses will need to regain their rhythm quickly as the competition tightens.
Adamson (3-5) took care of business against UE, sweeping the Lady Warriors to stay in the postseason conversation. Back to their winning ways, the Lady Falcons will need a strong finish to break into the Final Four.
Ateneo (3-5) outlasted UP in five sets, grinding out a crucial win. The Blue Eagles, despite dealing with injuries, are still within striking distance of the top four.
UP (3-5) suffered another tough five-set loss, this time to Ateneo, keeping them on the outside looking in. The Fighting Maroons must turn things around quickly to keep their Final Four hopes alive.
UE (0-8) is still winless after falling to Adamson in straight sets. The Lady Warriors continue to battle but are still searching for that elusive first victory.
