Yung maturity yung natutunan namin sa mga kuya namin, at yung yung ina-apply namin ngayon,” said Saavedra after the game.It was a balanced attack from the Morayta-based squad, as Lirick Mendoza (7 points) and Ariel Cacao (7 sets, 3 points) also contributed to their victory, and for FEU head coach Edison Orcullo, it is now a matter of his aces showing consistency as they move forward.“Masarap marinig mula sa players na kahit sino sa kanila, pwedeng mag deliver,” he said following the match wherein they led right from the get-go. “Kung sino yung may pinaka-magandang gising [sila yung nagawa], so sana hindi lang talaga sila tumigil.”The Tams’ attack points were their main advantage against the Fighting Maroons, as they dumped them, 44-30, and Orcullo hopes that this will be the same case when they face reigning champions National University on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.“Kailangan tibayan namin yung isa’t isa,” he said. “Kailangan di lang kami makuntento kung anong meron kami ngayon.”On the other hand, UP, which fell to 1-1, was led by Olayemi Raheem’s 16 markers, all of which came from attack points.The Fighting Maroons will look to bounce back on Sunday when they face Ateneo de Manila University at the same Pasay bayside venue.<div>RELATED VIDEO:</div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABUg90qcY0cT0seW&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script>
