NU wins its third straight game since dropping back-to-back sweeps against Final Four-bound La Salle, sending FEU to the brink of elimination and ousting once-mighty Ateneo from the running. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – The NU Lady Bulldogs continued their second-round resurgence with a 25-21, 25-14, 25-23 sweep to send the FEU Lady Tamaraws to the brink of elimination in the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament at the PhilSports Arena on Sunday, April 16.
Alyssa Solomon had a much-needed top scoring performance after several quiet outings with a game-high 18 points on a 17-of-28 attack clip. Unfazed, the Lady Bulldogs took advantage of back-to-back FEU attack errors to forge a 23-all tie with back-to-back kills from Belen and captain Cess Robles to sneak ahead with the sweep-clincher.
Over at the men’s division, NU stayed unscathed in the tournament with a four-set win over FEU, 28-26, 25-21, 26-28, 25-23, to clinch one of the coveted twice-to-beat perks.
