FEU freshmen take over like veterans would in the clutch as the Lady Tamaraws survive a five-set marathon against the stumbling Ateneo Blue Eagles. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – The FEU Lady Tamaraws dug deep in the clutch to survive the Ateneo Blue Eagles in a five-set stunner, 25-12, 15-25, 19-25, 25-15, 18-16, in the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, March 8.
Jov Fernandez topscored for the Lady Tamaraws with 18 points off 15 attacks, 2 aces, and 1 block, while rookie spiker Alyzza Devosora scored 13 in FEU’s first win over Ateneo since the UAAP Season 81 Final Four back in 2019. The Lady Tamaraws then struck back with a separate 5-0 spurt to get ahead, 10-7, that set the stage for back-to-back Devosora hits for match point, 14-12. Faith Nisperos, however, had other plans, as she scored three of Ateneo’s four match-point savers to extend the game until 16-all.
“Hopefully, this is not the last, right? That’s my thought, we have to improve more,” said FEU head coach Tina Salak in Filipino. “I’m thankful for my freshmen like Mitzi [Panangin], Marga, Gerzel, and Aly. They stepped up for the team. I wasn’t expecting that, but I’m very proud with what they showed.”
