The Ateneo Blue Eagles have their backs against the wall as they continue to vie for a spot in the UAAP Season 87 Final Four when they tangle against FEU.
Lyann De Guzman will look to keep Ateneo’s Final Four hopes alive as the Blue Eagles face the surging FEU Lady Tamaraws on Wednesday, April 9, at the Philsports Arena in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball action.
Ateneo, currently at 4-7, finds itself in must-win territory after a straight-sets loss to UST over the weekend.
With the semifinals picture starting to take shape, the Blue Eagles will need a big bounce-back effort—and plenty of production from De Guzman and AC Miner—to avoid slipping further behind in the standings.
But the task won’t be easy against an FEU side (7-4) that’s hitting its stride.
Coming off a four-set win over UP, the Lady Tamaraws are aiming to solidify their place in the top-4, even while navigating a jam-packed week that features three matches in seven days.
Faida Bakanke continues to anchor FEU’s charge, as the Morayta-based squad eyes another statement win—this time against a desperate Ateneo crew.
With both teams treating the match like a playoff preview, expect fireworks in Pasig as the second round heats up.
