Fresh from taking their first win of the season, the FEU Lady Tamaraws will hope to prove their mettle against defending champion NU in UAAP Season 88.
Faida Bakanke and the FEU Lady Tamaraws look to sustain their surge as they take on the unbeaten NU Lady Bulldogs in UAAP Season 88 on Saturday, February 21.
Match time is 3:00 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Fresh off their first win of the season last Wednesday, the Lady Tamaraws improved to 1-1 and gained a much-needed confidence boost.

Bakanke played a key role in that victory, firing 11 points against UE.
She will be tasked anew to deliver a strong offensive showing as FEU attempts to halt the defending champions’ early-season roll.
It will also give FEU a measure of revenge in a rematch of last year’s Final Four matchup.
Resurgent veteran Arah Panique has been a key cog for the Lady Bulldogs, and will be one of the names to look out for by the Lady Tams. She had 13 points in their game vs Adamson.
With NU sitting atop the standings, FEU sees this matchup as a prime opportunity to make a statement and prove it can contend with the league’s elite.
