SECOND SET
Coach Santos reminded the players not to be stiff and take the ball surely. Continue receiving and go directly for the attack. If the opponent received it well, be ready to block with supporting coverage.
An early second set error committed by Ong, but recovered with a good coverage nailing a point for UP. Basas continued to pour hard strikes. Sy received well for FEU and earned points from blocks and off the speed attacks.
On the other hand, Vargas secured two consecutive service aces, while UP still having poor reception making it hard for the team to recover. Second set dominated again by FEU at 25-12 score ending it on the early 43rd minute of the game.
THIRD SET
Good rally on the third set and an error by the FEU glued UP their first point. Roxas surprisingly attacked from the back row, no time for the UP to catch up.
UP quickly recovered by the middle attack of Bersola. Taking the ball to the center and setting it for Bersola or Ong in the middle attack gives the UP Fighting Maroons a greater chance to score in the game. Mangulaban gave a good attack for UP. Better decisions coming from the team shows up as they try to be more relaxed on the court.
Vargas won't let the game go further as she hit aggressive attacks. Third set well ended for the Lady Tams' on the early 1st hour leaving a 25-12 score.
Gyzelle Sy secured dominant points for the FEU team.
