Not today.

The NU Bulldogs kept their five-peat dreams alive with a commanding 25-20, 22-25, 25-15, 18-25, 15-11 win over the top-seeded FEU Tamaraws in Game 2 of the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball Finals on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

With the best-of-three series now tied at 1-1, NU stayed in the hunt for a historic fifth straight title — a feat that would push them past UST for the most consecutive championships in men’s division history.

The Bulldogs handed FEU just its second loss of the season — both inflicted by NU — behind a steady effort across all departments, bouncing back strong after dropping Game 1.

Game 3 will determine whether NU cements its dynasty with an unprecedented five-peat, or if FEU reclaims the throne and extends its all-time best to 26 championships.
