UAAP: Chenie Tagaod, FEU Lady Tamaraws determined to reach Finals

MANILA, Philippines — After falling a win short of making it to the Finals last year, Chenie Tagaod and the FEU are locked in on their ultimate goal in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament.

UAAP: Tigresses put hot run on the line against Maroons

With the second-longest winning streak in Season 87 of the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament, a University of Santo Tomas side that seems to be doing everything right lately returns to the floor on Wednesday hoping to extend that run to four and stay firmly at No. 2 on the leaderboard.

And the Growling Tigresses are wary of who’s on the opposite side of the Mall of Asia floor at 4 p.m., with University of the Philippines coming out as a very improved team for the season while posing to be a tough puzzle to read.

“The scouting of their players is really a guessing game (for us),” Santo Tomas assistant Yani Fernandez said in Filipino, referring to the UP squad that seems to have different weapons every game.
