Far Eastern U turned back Saint Benilde, 25-21, 25-20, 21-25, 25-23, to secure the last twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals of the Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Preseason Unity Cup yesterday at the San Andres Gym in Manila.
Alyzza Devosora stepped up in the fourth set and carried the Lady Tamaraws to an all-important victory to close the second round with a 2-1 win-loss record and the No. 2 spot in Pool F.
The outside spiker scored 10 of her 16 points in the fourth set, including four of FEU’s last six points of the match.
‘Tumatakbo sa isip namin na quarterfinals, kailangan maganda ‘yung standings namin. Goal talaga namin 3-0 kaso medyo nakulangan, naging shaky, nawalan ng pasa. So mas in-improve namin yun para makuha yung last set,’ Devosora said.
