FEU takes down UP, records 2-0 in UAAP men’s volleyball
Far Eastern University (FEU) continued its perfect run in the UAAP Season 87 Men’s Volleyball Tournament, winning their second consecutive game.
The Tamaraws dominated the University of the Philippines (UP) with a straight-set victory, 25-21, 25-16, 25-18, during their Wednesday afternoon, February 19, match at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Despite a slow start in the first set, FEU quickly regained their momentum in the second, overpowering the Fighting Maroons, 25-16, and setting themselves up for a potential straight-set win.
Though UP made a strong push in the third set, staying within one point at 15-16 midway, the combined efforts of Amet Bituin, Mikko Espartero, Ariel Cacao, Dryx Saadvedra, and Lirick Mendoza were too much for the Fighting Maroons.
FEU head coach Eddieson Orcullo hopes this level of performance will continue as they prepare for their next match against defending champions National University on Sunday, February 23, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
