The Lady Tamaraws overcame a two-set-to-one deficit, dominating the fourth, where the Tigresses, unfortunately, lost Jonna Perdido after her left knee fell awkwardly from her attack attempt that went out, giving FEU a 13-9 lead.
FEU dominated the fourth to force a decider, nailing five of their 17 blocks in the set to finish the bronze medal game in two hours and 36 minutes.
The Morayta-based spikers started the set with a 9-4 lead with Faida Bakanke and Jaz Ellarina hosting the block party. However, Angge Poyos and Kyla Cordora willed UST back, cutting down the lead to 11-10.
Cordora’s service went off the mark, which allowed FEU to make a run with Tin Ubaldo and Alyzza Devosora putting their team at match point, 14-11.
