PVL Media</div>MANILA -- Far Eastern University made its intentions known in its first game of the 2025 V-League Collegiate Challenge, overpowering Mapua University in straight sets on Sunday at the Paco Arena Sports and Events Center in Manila.The Lady Tams, who were last season&#x27;s runners-up, cruised past the Lady Cardinals, 25-15, 25-22, 25-21, with Congolese opposite Faida Bakanke leading the charge.Bakanke took over in the third set, breaking a 15-all deadlock with three aces that shifted the momentum in FEU&#x27;s favor.She finished with an all-around outing of 12 points off six attacks, three blocks and three aces, while also contributing four digs. Mitzi Panangin chipped in 10 points, highlighted by five spikes, three blocks and two aces.Mapua, led by captain Alyanna Ong, kept the pressure on in the final frame, forcing a 19-all count after an FEU error. But senior setter and team captain Tin Ubaldo orchestrated a decisive 6-2 closing run, capped by a down-the-line hit from Gerzel Petallo to seal the win.&quot;Yung point lang talaga namin this time is hindi para makabawi, pero para mag-improve lang talaga from last time,&quot; said Ubaldo. &quot;Andyan lang naman &#x27;yan kung magagawa namin nang maayos. Hindi kami naka-focus do&#x27;n sa talagang win, kundi do&#x27;n sa process kung paano kami mananalo. Yung pagsali namin rito is hindi do&#x27;n sa redemption talaga – for me lang.&quot;The Lady Tams dominated the opening set, with a late 8-3 run sparked by bench contributions from Madane David and Frenchie Premaylon sealing the deal in the early going of the tournament orgnanized by Sports Vision.In Set 2, Mapua showed grit, battling back from an 8-16 hole and trimming the deficit to one, 21-22, after an ace from Juliana Estudillo. However, a service error on the next play halted their run, allowing FEU to regain control and take a 2-0 set lead.No Mapuan reached double figures, with Zyra Morales and Alyanna Ong managing only eight points apiece.FEU will aim for back-to-back wins when it faces UAAP rival Adamson U on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the same venue.
