UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- Far Eastern University-Diliman and the University of Santo Tomas completed the Final 4 cast of the UAAP Season 88 girls&#x27; volleyball tournament. This, after they swept separate opponents on Monday at the Paco Arena Sports and Events Center in Manila.The Lady Baby Tamaraws had to fend off De La Salle-Zobel in the first two sets before Aleah Devosora sparked a third-set rout to secure a 25–21, 25–18, 25–7 win and book their semifinals berth.Meanwhile, the Junior Golden Tigresses encountered little resistance from the University of the East in a commanding 25–4, 25–5, 25–8 victory.FEU-D, which wrapped up the eliminations at 9–5, will face second-seeded Adamson University (13–1), which holds a twice-to-beat advantage. UST (8–6) will need back-to-back wins over National University–Nazareth School (13–1) to reach the best-of-three Finals.Both semifinal matches are scheduled for Saturday, December 6 at the Blue Eagle Gym. If necessary, the do-or-die games will be held on Monday, December 8 at the same Katipunan venue.&quot;Ito, sobrang saya namin, kasi nga ang sinabi ko sa mga bata, sa mga players ko, ang target muna namin is makapasok sa Final Four, and nakuha naman namin,&quot; said FEU-D head coach Joanne Bunag. &quot;Number three kami ngayon; and ito, i-se-celebrate muna namin pero bukas trabaho na naman kami for semifinals.&quot;Devosora scored most of her 14 points in the third set as FEU-D capitalized on DLSZ&#x27;s passing and defensive lapses, breaking a 2–2 deadlock into a 20–6 cushion.Outside hitter Aislinn Alemaña briefly stopped the bleeding with a middle hit to make it 7–22, but Alexa Amana quickly restored order with a kill. Bernadine Boston then denied Alemaña&#x27;s next swing to end the match after one hour and four minutes.Nigerian reinforcement MJ Udeagbala led FEU-D with 16 points built on 12 attacks and four blocks, while Devosora added 13 spikes and an ace. Joeyana Bongo came close to a double-double with nine points and seven digs.Alemaña finished with 11 points and six excellent receptions for DLSZ, but reigning Best Libero Angel Cenizal was limited to just eight digs. The Junior Lady Spikers ended their season at 7–7, settling for fifth.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764655173645UAAP88 HSGVB - UST vs UE - UST-9211.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The UST Junior Golden Tigresses celebrate against the University of the East in the UAAP Season 88 girls&#x27; volleyball tournament, December 1, 2025 at the Paco Arena Sports and Events Center in Manila.
