FEU takes on fellow Final Four-bound La Salle as the Lady Tamaraws try to stay alive in the hunt for the twice-to-beat advantage.
Faida Bakanke and the FEU Lady Tamaraws return to action on Saturday, April 26, with a shot at revenge and playoff positioning as they take on Shevana Laput and the DLSU Lady Spikers in a crucial UAAP Season 87 clash at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Already assured of a Final Four berth, FEU (8-5) is out to strengthen its bid for a possible twice-to-beat advantage by avenging their first-round loss to La Salle.
With momentum on the line, Bakanke looks to lead the charge as the Lady Tamaraws eye a strong finish to the eliminations after a much-needed breather.
Meanwhile, La Salle (9-4) heads into the matchup riding high after surviving a scare from Adamson in five sets.
With MVP candidate Shevana Laput leading the way, the Lady Spikers are gunning for a 10-win finish that will keep them ahead of the race in the semis bonus and send a message to the rest of the Final Four field.
This clash between surging contenders carries more than just win-loss implications—it’s a tone-setter for the battles to come.
With Laput and Bakanke in peak form, expect a heavyweight showdown between two teams hungry to make a deep postseason run.
