FEU sweeps winless UE in UAAP women's volleyball

Far Eastern University swept the University of the East, 25-20, 25-20, 25-23, in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

The Lady Tamaraws improved to 6-3 and claimed the provisional second spot, while the Lady Warriors remained winless in nine games.

Jaz Ellarina led the Morayta-based squad with 17 points from 12 attacks, three aces, and two blocks, while Chenie Tagaod and Gerz Petallo had 15 points each.

"Expected naman na lalaban ang UE kasi hindi naman nababago ang spirit ng UE pagdating sa games. Eventually, nagkakaroon naman kami ng adjustments, nakakasunod naman ang players. Sa game, nakuha naman namin 'yung gusto naming win but siyempre may opportunities pa rin na nami-miss namin,” said FEU head coach Tina Salak.

KC Cepada, meanwhile, led the Recto-based squad with 13 points.

In the men's division, FEU also defeated UE, 25-19, 25-17, 23-25, 25-18.
