UST, Adamson, and FEU locked in three-way tie in UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball

Parity has arrived early in UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball. With the first round gaining intensity, the UAAP Season 88 women’s tournament has produced a three-way deadlock at 2-2 between the UST Golden Tigresses, FEU Lady Tamaraws, and Adamson Lady Falcons. 

With every set now carrying added weight, the race toward the Final Four is beginning to take shape far earlier than expected.

UST’s path back to relevance has been swift. After stumbling with two straight losses to open the campaign, the Golden Tigresses recalibrated and found their rhythm. 

Their latest statement came in dominant fashion with a 25-11, 25-14, 25-14 dismantling of the UE Lady Warriors last Saturday.

Angge Poyos provided steady production with 11 points and three digs, while Jonna Perdido delivered an impactful return. After missing last season due to a knee injury, Perdido tallied 10 points built on five attacks, three aces, and two blocks, while adding six digs and four receptions.

But UST’s climb will face immediate resistance. On March 7, they square off against Adamson in a pivotal showdown that guarantees one team will rise to 3-2 while the other slips behind the pack.

Meanwhile, Adamson Lady Falcons enter the matchup seeking stability. The Lady Falcons were unable to sustain their momentum in a four-set loss to FEU, 22-25, 30-28, 25-17, 25-20, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday. The defeat dropped them into the same 2-2 cluster they now share with their rivals.

Shaina Nitura did everything she could to tilt the match in Adamson’s favor, exploding 22 points, 13 digs, and 33 excellent receptions. Her all-around effort kept the Falcons competitive, but FEU’s late-match execution proved steadier.

For FEU, the victory marked a timely return to form. Faida Bakanke powered the Lady Tamaraws with 22 points anchored on 17 attacks and five blocks, while Aly Devosora added 18 markers. 

The Morayta squad’s balanced scoring and defensive grit allowed them to close strong and join the standings at 2-2.

Their momentum will be tested again on Wednesday when FEU faces the Ateneo Lady Eagles. Another win would push them to 3-2 and potentially out of the gridlock and a loss would drop them into negative territory in an already crowded race.

What makes this early tie compelling is not just the identical records, but the contrasting identities of the teams involved. UST is rediscovering its momentum, Adamson leans on defensive resilience, and FEU thrives on physical net presence.
