Lady Tams claim last semis slot

The FEU Lady Tamaraws outlasted the UST Golden Tigresses, 19-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-20, 15-10, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Saturday, April 13, 2024 to complete the Final Four of the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball. Faida Bakanke scored 21 points and logged five excellent digs to lead the fourth-running Lady Tamaraws, who rose to 7-4 and avenged their first round loss to UST. FEU's record would be enough for it to stay in the top four even if they lose their last three games. The Tamaraws made their Final Four return after missing it the last two seasons.

00:48 So first, a speech to Coach Manolo.
00:50 Coach, congratulations.
00:52 Of course, you did a good job, but
00:54 a big win for you, against you,
00:56 is the one who was able to recover.
00:58 You mentioned before that
01:00 a target of your second round is to get back
01:02 to those teams who beat you.
01:04 Not only did you win, but you also made it to the final four.
01:08 Your thoughts?
01:10 It feels really good, because
01:12 the glory days of the FPU,
01:18 we feel like we're getting back.
01:20 And now, we're here in the final four.
01:24 It's fun, but the work isn't done yet.
01:28 We're just here.
01:30 We still have a long way to go.
01:32 I just have a question, Coach.
01:34 You talked about glory days.
01:36 The rivalry between FPU and USS is really intense.
01:40 How do you feel about that?
01:42 It's a life and well.
01:44 You feel the rivalry.
01:46 I mean, that rivalry was long ago.
01:48 It started with Coach Kidd,
01:50 and Coach Emil in the men's division.
01:54 When I was in the men's team,
01:58 I was playing there.
02:00 Coach Kidd really wanted to
02:02 beat everyone,
02:04 especially USS.
02:06 Because Coach Kidd and Coach Emil
02:08 were really close.
02:10 So, they're still close.
02:12 But when they fight,
02:14 it's really intense.
02:16 Now, the rivalry is not gone.
02:18 It's still a good feeling
02:20 to see the rivalry
02:22 that is still going on.
02:24 It's still going on.
02:26 So, I'm really happy.
02:28 The rivalry is still going on.
02:32 The fans are still coming.
02:34 It's still going on.
02:36 Thank you, Coach.
02:38 And we have Gina Azizudas.
02:40 She scored 16 points with 13 attacks,
02:42 2 blocks, and 1 service hit.
02:44 From the players' perspective,
02:46 how big is this win for you,
02:48 especially as one of the
02:50 senior players in the team?
02:52 It's really a big win.
02:54 It's really a big win.
02:56 It's a big win for us,
02:58 the players.
03:00 Because we really wanted to
03:02 make it.
03:04 We wanted to show that
03:06 after we lost in the first round,
03:08 we can make it in the second round.
03:10 That's what we really prepared.
03:12 We're super proud of the coaches
03:14 and also our teammates,
03:16 that we believed in each other.
03:18 So, it's really a big win.
03:20 It's a big win for us.
03:22 Because
03:24 this win
03:26 can help us get into the Final Four.
03:28 And yeah, it happened.
03:30 So, I'm happy.
03:32 Just an additional question.
03:34 Your points really helped you
03:36 and made an impact.
03:38 It's a huge win.
03:40 Just take us through your quick set
03:42 and the moments that you really
03:44 went to the game.
03:46 It's really...
03:48 Maybe for me,
03:50 it's nice to feel
03:52 that the center trusted me.
03:54 Especially in those crucial
03:56 times, like the last set
03:58 but I'm the one who's given.
04:00 I'll take that opportunity
04:02 to give to me, to trust me.
04:04 I'll give this win to myself.
04:06 For me,
04:08 it's for me, not for the team.
04:10 Thank you for that.
