Far Eastern University (FEU) leaned on its well-placed serves in posting a 25-14, 25-19, 24-26, 25-18 win over College of St. Benilde as action continued Friday in the quarterfinal phase of the Shakey’s V-League Season 6 second conference at The Arena in San Juan City. “We focused more on the service. Ang kailangan lang ayusin namin ay kung paano alagaan ang lamang namin (All we need to work on is how to protect our lead)," said FEU coach Nestor Pamilar after the victory as the Lady Tamaraws ended their two-game slide.

FEU posted 14 service winners, five of which came from Cherry Vivas while guest player Rachel Anne Daquis made four all in the first set. Butr after winning the first two sets, the Lady Tamaraws relaxed on the third frame allowing the Lady Blazers to comeback from a 23-15 deficit and eventually winning it. The Lady Tams’ first win in the quarterfinals upped their record to 7-3 as it also enhanced their chance of earning one of the four semis berths. CSB absorbed its sixth loss after nine games with their hopes of earning a spot in the Final Four slowly fading. Vivas led the Lady Tamaraws with 21 hits while Daquis and Shaira Gonzalez added 20 and 17 points apiece. “Dapat ayusin namin yung distribution ng bola at yung diskarte ng mga setter namin sa mga plays (Our setters need to distribute the ball in our every play). We need to manage on how to distribute the ball and set," added Pamilar.
