MANILA — Far Eastern University (FEU) continued its winning ways in the UAAP Season 86 men’s volleyball tournament.


The Tamaraws improved to 8-1 in the league standings after they outlasted Ateneo de Manila University in a five-setter, 25-20, 20-25, 18-25, 25-18, 15-12, on Thursday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.


Andrei Delicana starred for the Morayta hitters and put up 19 points, seven receptions, and three digs, while Dryx Saavedra finished with 16 markers and four digs.


Also standing out for FEU were Jayjay Javelona who had 16 points, nine receptions, and five digs, Martin Bugaoan who tallied 13, and Ariel Cacao who delivered 22 excellent sets. 


“Yung game kanina too much errors kami. Ang daming kailangang repasuhin. Kung nagtitriple na kaming focus sa ensayo, baka dapat mas lalo pang doblehin,” said FEU head coach Eddieson Orcullo after the game he talked about their 24 errors. 


Good thing for them, his Bugaoan took charge in the deciding frame.


Dealing with a 13-8 deficit in the fifth, the Ateneans went on a late spurt and cut the lead to two, 13-11, following three consecutive errors from the Tamaraws.


Bugaoan eventually hit the match point after his strong kill, but another error which came from a net touch allowed the Blue Eagles to close in again by two, 14-12.


Fortunately for FEU, Bugaoan again hit another kill to finally end the game, and keep hold of the top spot in the standings.


Jian Salarzon was the 5-5 Ateneo’s leading scorer as he had 21 points as well as 27 excellent receptions and three digs, while Ken Batas, Jettlee Gopio, Amil Pacinio, and Ryan Daculan had 17, 13, 12, and 11, respectively for the Katipunan-based squad.


FEU will look to win its fifth straight when it faces Adamson University at the Araneta Coliseum, while Ateneo will seek to bounce back on Wednesday against National University at the same Pasay-based arena.
