The Tamaraws opened their redemption bid with a convincing 25-19, 25-22, 25-19 sweep of the DLSU Green Spikers. 

Dryx Saavedra led FEU with 16 points, while Mikko Espartero added 14 points, including 12 attacks, one block, one ace, and seven excellent receptions.

Middle blocker Doula Ndongala contributed seven points on five attacks and two blocks as team captain Ariel Cacao added seven points along with 17 precise sets.

Facing a UE team that dropped its opener to UP and is on a 22-game losing streak, FEU is eager to carry momentum and secure back-to-back wins in Season 88.
