Arvin Lim, ABS-CBN Sports</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE 2) The Far Eastern University (FEU) Lady Tamaraws on Sunday took care of business by dismissing National University (NU) in four sets at the Mall of Asia Arena.The Lady Tamaraws displayed their poise in crunch time to turn back the Lady Bulldogs, 25-21, 25-22, 16-25, 25-20, and finish with a 10-4 win-loss record in the elimination round of the UAAP Season 80 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament.Defending champion De La Salle University beat Ateneo de Manila University later in the day, handing the Lady Tamaraws the second seed and a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final 4.Regardless of the result of the La Salle-Ateneo game, however, the Lady Tamaraws said they were ready for whatever happened.&quot;Sabi ko nga so far, 50-50 tayo sa twice-to-beat, depende sa mangyayari. Ngayon, kung manalo si Ateneo, andoon pa rin &#x27;yung mindset nila kasi sinabi ko na sa kanila &#x27;yung mga scenario na possible na mangyari, kung manalo si Ateneo, kung matalo kami,&quot; said FEU coach George Pascua after their game.&quot;So ready na &#x27;yung mindset nila. Any situation naman, ready naman kami anytime,&quot; he added.The Lady Bulldogs, meanwhile, finished with a 7-7 win-loss record. They formally clinched the fourth seed on Sunday, but the loss marked a stunning turnaround for NU. After winning six of their first seven games, they went on to win just once the rest of the way.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2018/04/15/bernadeth-pons-probinsyana-superstar-soul-40385">Bernadeth Pons: Probinsyana with a Superstar Soul</a></li></ul>Skipper Bernadeth Pons shone once more for the Lady Tamaraws with 17 points and 16 receptions. Cel Domingo finished with 12 points, including three blocks.The Lady Tamaraws rallied from slim deficits in each of the first two frames, with players like Heather Guino-o and Pons coming up with the key hits to bring FEU back in the game.Ultimately, however, NU shot itself in the foot. In the first set, it was a service error by Audrey Paran that won it for FEU; in the second set, it was Roma Doromal&#x27;s turn to commit the service error to gift the victory for the Lady Tamaraws.NU stayed alive by winning the third frame, with Jaja Santiago proving unstoppable on offense while also leading the way defensively at the net.They carried that momentum in the fourth set, when they went toe-to-toe with the Lady Tamaraws and trailed by just one point, 19-20, after a net touch called on the Lady Tamaraws.But FEU went on to win five of the last six points of the game. Guino-o came through with back-to-back kills and the ace that put the Lady Tamaraws at match point, 24-20, before Pons finished off the Lady Bulldogs with a smartly placed push.Santiago finished with 21 points on 15 kills and six blocks, but her efforts were not enough to lead NU to a victory. The Lady Bulldogs will play La Salle in the Final 4, with the Lady Spikers having a twice-to-beat edge.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
