Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 5) — The FEU Lady Tamaraws stayed in the hunt for a Final Four berth after disposing the UP Lady Maroons, 25-16, 25-16, 27-25, on Wednesday afternoon at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
Libero Ria Duremdes had 13 excellent digs for the Lady Tamaraws.
Both squads battled tooth and nail early in the match, but FEU found its groove to pull away and take the opening set.
It was the same story in the second set where the Lady Tams capitalized on every opportunity at the offensive end.
UP was able to build a 10-6 advantage in the third set, but FEU slowly climbed back to tie the game.
Nicole Tiamzon and graduating Kathy Bersola anchored a last stand for the Lady Maroons.
But a couple of errors caused the game for the Diliman-based squad.
The Lady Tamaraws are now in fourth place at 8-6 and assured of a playoff for a semis berth.
FEU is half a game behind University of Santo Tomas (8-5) and half a game on top of National University (7-6) heading into the final game date of the elimination round.
The Lady Maroons ended their Season 79 campaign with a 7-7 slate.
