Josh Albelda, <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/volleyball/photos">ABS-CBN Sports</a></figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATED) Far Eastern University (FEU) registered its biggest win of the UAAP Season 80 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament on Wednesday, when they became the first team to defeat National University (NU).Behind the superb efforts of Bernadeth Pons and ChinChin Basas, as well as a solid outing from Kyle Negrito, the Lady Tamaraws downed the Lady Bulldogs 25-22, 25-27, 25-13, 25-20 at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.It was NU&#x27;s first loss after opening their campaign with five straight wins, including a five-set stunner over defending champion De La Salle University.Meanwhile, the Lady Tamaraws extended their winning streak to three games and improved to 4-2. FEU is now tied with La Salle and Ateneo de Manila University in the league standings, just behind NU (5-1).&quot;Malaking bagay ito,&quot; said FEU coach George Pascua. &quot;Makaka-boost ito ng morale ng mga players. Hopefully ma-sustain &#x27;yung consistency and effort.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2018/02/27/uaap-volleyball-ravena-miss-first-ateneo-dlsu-tussle-38255">READ: Ravena to miss first Ateneo-DLSU tussle</a></li></ul>The Lady Tamaraws set the tone of the game when they pulled off a come-from-behind win in Set 1, though NU bounced back via a 27-25 victory in Set 2. Aiko Urdas came up big in the second frame, firing the unorthodox hit that put the Lady Bulldogs at set point, 26-25, before an unforced error by FEU ended their hopes of a comeback.The third set, however, was a completely different story. The Lady Tamaraws pounced on NU&#x27;s weak reception, tallying six service aces in the game en route to the comfortable victory.They carried that momentum in the fourth set, where the Lady Tams built a 20-15 advantage. NU shot itself in the foot by committing several miscues, with Roselyn Doria and Risa Sato in particular combining for three straight attack errors.FEU&#x27;s own mistakes, combined with Jaja Santiago&#x27;s kills, helped NU stay in the hunt. But Pons would not be denied, as she fired back-to-back kills to help the Lady Tamaraws reach match point, 24-19. A poor serve by Carly Hernandez – ironically, the team&#x27;s service specialist – temporarily extended the match, but NU&#x27;s Roma Doromal sealed her team&#x27;s fate with an attack that went way long.&quot;Ngayon, masaya kami,&quot; said Pons, who had 18 points – all on attacks – on top of 11 receptions. &quot;Pero mamaya, focus na sa next game.&quot;Basas added 16 points on 12 attacks, two blocks, and two aces. As a team, FEU had 15 points off their serve.Santiago was held to a season-low 13 points, while Sato led the Lady Bulldogs with 14 points, all on kills.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.)
