UST completes Final Four cast, eliminates FEU in UAAP Season 85 women

The University of Santo Tomas Golden Tigresses secured their spot in the Final Four after beating a feisty Far Easter University Tamaraws squad, 26-24, 22-25, 25-16, 25-23, in the UAAP Season 85 women's volleyball tournament.

Eya Laura punched the game-sealing point with an off the block hit in the fourth set, as UST officially eliminated FEU from the Final Four hunt.

The Golden Tigresses improved to a 9-3 win-loss card, tied with the defending champions National University Lady Bulldogs. Coincidentally, UST and NU will face off next in what could be the decider for the remaining twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four. The De La Salle University Lady Spikers are already assured of the incentive.

"Kailangan namin itong laro na 'to. Hindi namin basta-basta puwedeng bitawan," UST libero Bernadett Pepito said after being named Best Player of the Game behind 21 excellent digs and 18 excellent receptions.
