PVL Media</div>MANILA (2nd UPDATE) -- University of Santo Tomas finally got to celebrate with confetti after turning back Far Eastern University in four sets to claim the crown in the 2024 V-League Women&#x27;s Collegiate Challenge, Friday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.The Tigresses bucked a slow start and outlasted the Lady Tamaraws in Sets 2 and 3 before running away in the fourth en route to a 24-26, 25-20, 25-21, 25-14 in the deciding game of their best-of-3 Finals series.Regina Jurado came up with the finishing touches for UST, firing the crosscourt hit that put them at championship point then wrapping up the match with another attack that found the corner of zone 1.The veteran finished with 15 points on 12 kills and two aces, while reigning UAAP Rookie of the Year Angge Poyos made up for her absence in Game 2 by firing a game-high 31 points built on 29 attacks. Jonna Perdido added 10 points, as the Tigresses tallied a 57-46 advantage in kills against the Lady Tamaraws.It was a sweet triumph for the Tigresses, whose bid to sweep the tournament was foiled by the Lady Tamaraws last Wednesday in a nail-biting five-set game.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/2/v-league-lady-tams-show-grit-deny-tigresses-bid-for-sweep-2114">READ: Lady Tams show grit, deny Tigresses&#x27; bid for sweep</a></div>UST had celebrated early in that contest, after a 1-2 play by Cassie Carballo appeared to have clinched the crown in their favor -- with confetti already falling to the court.But a challenge by the FEU coaching staff overturned the point, and the Lady Tamaraws went on to win the extended fifth set to force a deciding match for the championship.&quot;Masaya &#x27;yung grupo. At least, naka-recover kami from an upset loss doon sa Game 2,&quot; said UST head coach Kungfu Reyes. &quot;Na-experience ulit namin na mag-champion dito sa V-League, kaya overwhelming &#x27;yung tuwa na nararamdaman namin.&quot;This time around, the Tigresses would not be denied as they rode the momentum of slim wins in Sets 2 and 3 to pull away early, rebuffing FEU&#x27;s hopes of another comeback.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/9/29/v-league-ust-on-cusp-of-sweep-after-game-1-win-vs-feu-1920">READ: UST on cusp of sweep after Game 1 win vs. FEU</a></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1728036980994VL 2024 Finals UST vs. FEU --2884.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The UST Tigresses and the FEU Lady Tamaraws after the Finals of the 2024 V-League Women&#x27;s Collegiate Challenge, Friday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. PVL Media"/>The UST Tigresses and the FEU Lady Tamaraws after the Finals of the 2024 V-League Women&#x27;s Collegiate Challenge, Friday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. PVL MediaThe Lady Tamaraws had drawn first blood but couldn&#x27;t maintain their momentum, and UST eventually seized control en route to their first V-League championship since 2010 -- the same year that they won the UAAP Season 72 women&#x27;s volleyball crown.</div>After building a 2-1 lead, the Tigresses raced to a 14-6 advantage in the fourth frame. A Poyos attack gave them an 11-point lead, 18-7, and after FEU briefly cut the lead to nine points, Reyes called a timeout to quell their uprising.Out of the break in action, Poyos fired another attack and the Tigresses cruised from there, with Jurado taking matters in her own hands to close out the Lady Tamaraws. &quot;Very happy ako kasi nakabalik ako sa Game 3. Unang-una goal ko lang talaga ang makatulong sa team, so thankful na nakuha namin yung championship namin,&quot; said Poyos afterward.Carballo, who earned Finals MVP honors, had five points and 19 excellent sets in the match. Faida Bakanke put up 16 points and Jean Asis added 12 in a losing effort for the Lady Tamaraws. This is FEU&#x27;s second consecutive silver medal finish after their loss to College of St. Benilde last year.

University of Santo Tomas finally got to celebrate with confetti after turning back Far Eastern University in four sets to claim the crown in the 2024 V-League Women's Collegiate Challenge.
