The UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament is heating up, and UP’s stunning five-set win over NU not only ended the Lady Bulldogs’ undefeated run but also ensured a traditional Final Four format.

With the standings tightening up, every match is now crucial as teams battle for playoff positioning.


Defending champion NU (9-1) saw its eight-game winning streak snapped at the hands of a determined UP squad in a thrilling five-setter, preventing them from running away with an outright Finals berth.

But after that, the Lady Bulldogs handled FEU in four sets, quick to recover with a strong victory.


La Salle (6-3) continues to fight for a Final Four spot, earning a hard-fought five-set win over UST. The Lady Spikers strengthened their hold on second place as they look to build momentum in the latter stretch of the season.


FEU (6-4) took care of UE in straight sets but couldn’t sustain its run, falling to NU in four sets. Despite the setback, the Lady Tamaraws remain in the mix for a postseason berth.

UST (5-4) battled La Salle for five sets but ultimately came up short. The loss puts them in a tight race for the Final Four as they continue to chase wins in the second round.

UP (5-5) pulled off the biggest shocker of the season, stunning NU in five sets to not only snap the Lady Bulldogs’ winning streak but also lock in a traditional Final Four format. UP followed up the massive win with a dominant sweep over UE, boosting its postseason chances.


Ateneo (4-5) made quick work of Adamson in a straight-set victory, keeping their hopes alive as they aim to climb up the standings. The Blue Eagles remain within striking distance of the Final Four spots.


Adamson (3-6) couldn’t keep up with Ateneo, suffering a sweep loss. The Lady Falcons need to turn things around fast if they want to stay in the race for a playoff berth.

UE (0-10) remains winless after suffering back-to-back sweeps against FEU and UP. The Lady Red Warriors continue to search for their first victory as the season nears its final stretch.
