The only winless team left in the field, UE is hungry to get a breakthrough as the Red Warriors square off against the no. 1 FEU Tamaraws in UAAP Season 87.
Going into round 2 of the UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball tournament, the sun is yet to shine for UE.
At 0-8, the Red Warriors' long-pursued breakthrough continues in a second round showdown against the no. 1 FEU Tamaraws Wednesday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Match time is at 3:00 p.m.
UE came within inches away from its first win in the tournament last time out, leading 2-1 before a late-game collapse gave the Adamson Soaring Falcons a five-set win over the weekend.
Axel Defeo fired 22 points and rookie hitter Raquim Aceron chipped in 20 markers but the Red Warriors just couldn’t close it out, suffering a 15th-straight loss dating back to the second round of Season 86.
UE’s last UAAP men’s volleyball win came in round 1 of last year against the UP Fighting Maroons.
Against a seemingly unstoppable FEU squad, can the Recto-based squad score a massive upset and finally barge in the win column?
