Far Eastern University bolstered its drive for a semifinals berth while also eliminating San Beda University in four sets, 25-19, 25-21, 20-25, 25-15, in the 2023 V-League Men's Collegiate Challenge at the Paco Arena in Manila on Friday night.
The Tamaraws rose to an even 3-3 win-loss record for solo fifth, thanks to Dryx Saavedra and Andrei Delicana, who made 18 and 16 points, respectively.
"Kailangan din sabihin sa boys na walang nananalo sa dalawang sets eh. Tulad nito, nakuha ng San Beda ang third set. Kapag gusto mo kasi manalo, kung kaya mong tapusin ng tatlong set lang, kailangan maging maayos ang galaw," said FEU head coach Eddieson Orcullo.
Tamaraws middle blocker, Lirick Mendoza, chimed in 11 points, while Jerold Talisayan got nine points on top of six digs and four excellent receptions.
Kevin Montemayor paced the 0-5 Red Spikers with 15 points on 13 attacks, a block, and an ace, while Ralph Cabalsa added 12 points.
FEU will close out its preliminary round schedule against also-ran Emilio Aguinaldo College on Wednesday.
