V-League: FEU forces playoff (3:44 p.m.)

MANILA -- The Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws gave life to their semifinal bid in the 7th Shakey’s V-League second conference Thursday night as they bucked a sloppy third set to upend Ateneo Lady Eagles at the Arena, San Juan City.

Quarterscores showed 25-21, 27-25, 11-25, 25-18 as FEU forged a do-or-die battle on Sunday to know which team will join San Sebastian College, Adamson University and Lyceum of the Philippines University in the Final Four showdown next week.

In just 62 minutes of play, guest player Rachel Anne Daquis erased the bad memories of her poor eight-point output against Lyceum last Sunday after sizzling with 23 hits, 15 coming from kills.

Skipper Cherry May Vivas also improved from last Sunday’s game to finish with 16 points, while another guest player Michelle Carolino wound up 11 markers in the last quarter play date organized by Sports vision and backed by Accel, Mikasa and Excelroof. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
