FEU sweeps UE, advances to V-League women’s finals

The Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws made their way back to the V-League Women’s Collegiate Challenge finals after sweeping the University of the East Lady Warriors in Game 2 of the semifinals, 25-20, 25-19, 25-21, at the Philsports Arena on Sunday.

The Lady Tamaraws controlled the first two sets but nearly faltered in the third frame after seeing their 16-8 advantage cut to 16-18 by a furious Lady Warriors’ run behind Nahomie Mpata, Casiey Dongallo, and Riza Nogales.

However, Lady Tamaraws’ Lovely Lopez delivered timely conversions to stretch their advantage to 21-16 before they later completed the victory with consecutive connections.

“Masaya, though maraming lapses pero mabilis naming nagagawan ng paraan,” said Lady Tamaraws team captain Tin Ubaldo, who tallied 15 excellent sets and added six points.

“Parang lahat ng errors, lahat ng miscues, mabilis namin siyang nata-translate sa point kaya happy kami kasi na-work out namin ‘yung things na kailangan naming i-work out nang ganun, mabilis,” she added.

Chenie Tagaod led the Lady Tamaraws’ offense with 18 points and 11 excellent digs, while Faida Bakanke and Jean Asis each added nine points, with Jean Asis delivering eight kills.

On the Lady Warriors’ side, Dongallo led her team with 13 points and eight excellent digs, while KC Cepada and Mpata each scored seven.
