Far Eastern University (FEU) and Arellano University are hopeful that a two-day break will be enough to toughen up and
Dave Parker Authentic Jersey make the necessary adjustments as they seek to extend their respective semifinals series in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Collegiate Conference.
FEU takes on Adamson University, while Arellano looks to stop National University (NU) in Game 2 of their series on Saturday at the FilOil Flying V Centre.
The Lady Tamaraws blew a 2-1 set lead, lost steam in the stretch and dropped a 25-21, 22-25, 25-20, 14-25, 8-15 decision to the Lady Falcons late Wednesday but vowed to strike back in Game 2 of their best-of-three semifinal series.
Despite playing without top hitter Bernadeth Pons, the Morayta-based squad still took control after three sets but suddenly groped for form in the fourth, enabling the Lady Falcons to come back before sustaining their momentum in the decider.
FEU actually kept it close in the fifth but failed to neutralize Adamson’s strong

The Lady Tams also fell into a maze of errors in the clutch, including a rotation error that fueled the Lady Falcons’ decisive closing 4-0 binge.
But FEU coach George Pascua is confident his veteran players will redeem themselves in the next outing with the

“We weren’t able to solve Jaja and the girls were a bit intimidated by her,” said Arellano mentor Obet Javier. “But I always tell them that through practice, we could handle her (Santiago) and get back into the series.”
Javier also rued his wards’ poor reception and first ball that hampered their offense. The Lady Chiefs tallied only 26 kills in 109 attempts.
In contrast, with Santiago on the firing end, the Lady Bulldogs produced 45 spikes from 118 tries while reasserting

Victories by FEU and Arellano will force a pair of rubber matches on Monday.
Meanwhile, unbeaten Ateneo de Manila University sets out for a finals
stint as it guns for a sweep of University of Santo Tomas in their own side of the semis in the men’s tournament of the league.
FEU, on the other hand, braces for a NU fightback in the other Final Four duel.
