A win against defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs would give the FEU Lady Tamaraws some needed separation in a tightly-contested battle for UAAP playoff positioning.
The FEU Lady Tamaraws are seeking a much-needed lift from the middle of the pack, but standing in their way are the reigning champion NU Lady Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, November 12, at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.

FEU is currently tied for fourth place with the DLSU Lady Archers, both holding 4–6 records, while Adamson trails closely at 4–7, making the fight for a playoff spot increasingly tight.
The Lady Tamaraws are coming off a challenging 39-67 loss to the Adamson Soaring Falcons, where they struggled to find their rhythm.
Amyah Espanol topscored the Morayata-based squad with 11 points, and Shane Salvani contributed eight points and four rebounds.
Leading scorer Shem Abatayo, however, was held to just two points on 1-of-16 shooting, underscoring the team’s offensive struggles.
As the tournament enters its homestretch, the Lady Tams aim to secure a pivotal victory to keep their Final Four hopes alive.
