Mitzi Panangin and Alyzza Devosora added five points each as FEU needed only 87 minutes to win.&quot;It&#x27;s a good game against CSB. Talagang breaks of the game lang. Siguro, binibit lang namin &#x27;yung pagtalo na &#x27;yun at nadala namin &#x27;yung mga lessons dito para makabawi sa mga pagkukulang namin,&quot; said coach Manolo Refugia.After taking a 2-0 lead, the Lady Tams appeared headed for a quick win when they took a 20-15 advantage in the third set. But Casiey Dongallo anchored a 9-4 rally by the Lady Warriors for a 24-all deuce, only for Bakanke and Panangin to come to the Lady Tamaraws&#x27; rescue.Dongallo had 23 points in a losing cause for UE (2-4), which settled for a fourth place in Pool F and a twice-to-win handicap against reigning champion and unbeaten Pool A leader National U in the quarterfinals.
