FEU hands UST first loss in SSL

MANILA, Philippines — Far Eastern U handed Santo Tomas its first defeat, 25-21, 25-23, 25-23, while moving closer to a playoff bonus in the Shakey’s Super League Collegiate Pre-Season Championship yesterday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Fresh off a two-week break, the Lady Tamaraws were on target with a surprising sweep for a 4-0 slate in Pool F.

Jean Asis had 12 points highlighted by the game-clinching kill as FEU derailed Santo Tomas’ bid, at 5-1, to secure one of the twice-to-beat incentives in Pool F.

FEU, which swept three first-round matches in Pool D, bowed to Santo Tomas in the V.League finals earlier this month and was not to be denied in their newest encounter.
