In the last set, the Lady Tamaraws fired off a 6-2 start before Jolina dela Cruz and Lourdes Clemente patched things to keep the Lady Spikers within striking distance.
Not giving up, Guino-o and Elize Ronquillo rallied the troops and helped the FEU establish control in the endgame.
Guino-o fired off one more for the Lady Tamaraws to secure a 13-6 gap before Dela Cruz sealed the deal with an outside hit. – Rappler.com
