A humbled NU Lady Bulldogs try to pick up the pieces when they face an equally-competitive FEU Lady Tamaraws team in the second round of UAAP Season 87.
After seeing their 11-game winning streak snapped, Alyssa Solomon and the NU Lady Bulldogs are determined to bounce back as they face the FEU Lady Tamaraws in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball on Sunday, March 30, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
NU (8-1) suffered a stunning upset at the hands of UP, marking the defending champions' first loss since last season’s Final Four.
Solomon struggled in that match, but the reigning Finals MVP is eager to regain her dominant form and help the Lady Bulldogs get back on track.
Meanwhile, FEU (6-3) enters with momentum, having won back-to-back matches.
The Lady Tamaraws nearly took down NU in their first-round meeting, pushing the Lady Bulldogs to five sets.
With Chenie Tagaod rediscovering her scoring touch, FEU hopes to finally break through and hand NU a second straight loss.
Will NU reassert its dominance, or can FEU continue its surge and shake up the Final Four race? Expect an intense showdown between two top contenders.
