The FEU Lady Tamaraws present themselves as legitimate contenders for the Final Four in UAAP Season 88.
Yvette Villanueva and the FEU Lady Tamaraws aim to sustain their momentum and strengthen their Final Four push when they face the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 29, at 8 a.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After escaping UP in their last outing, the Lady Tamaraws (4-4) look to carry that winning energy into the second round.
Villanueva will once again be FEU’s anchor after her 23-point, eight-rebound, three-steal, and one-block performance powered their last victory.
Another strong showing could help the Lady Tamaraws catch one of the league’s elite teams in the standings.
Ateneo (5-3), meanwhile, is determined to bounce back from a narrow defeat to defending champion NU.
Two-time MVP Kacey Dela Rosa will again lead the charge after her dominant 18-point, 15-rebound, two-block outing, while the returning Sarah Makanjoula’s presence will complete the Blue Eagles’ formidable frontcourt.
With both teams jockeying for playoff position, this clash could play a crucial role in shaping the second-round race.
