Protecting a slim 12-11 lead in the fifth set, the Lady Tamaraws finished off the Lady Blazers behind Mitzi Panangin power tipped followed by an off-the-block kill by Chenie Tagaod with rookie Barbie Jamili closing the match with a service winner to hand former FEU star setter, Tina Salak, a fitting welcome on her coaching debut.

Eya Laure, on the other hand, unleashed a salvo of hits in the closing stretch to power UST to a marathon 25-20, 27-29, 15-25, 29-27, 15-10 victory over Adamson University in a match that started late Saturday and ended early Sunday.
