Far Eastern University (FEU) moved closer to securing a critical twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Shakey's Super League (SSL) Unity Cup by decisively defeating College of Saint Benilde. The match, held at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, ended with the Lady Tamaraws sweeping their opponents in straight sets: 25-14, 25-9, and 25-17.
The Lady Tamaraws showcased their skill and intensity throughout the contest, rendering the Lady Blazers ineffective on the court. The match lasted just over an hour, allowing FEU to maintain its perfect record with two wins and no losses in Pool E. This victory marks their second consecutive win in the Round of 8 stage of the tournament.
To further solidify their position, FEU needs National University to defeat Adamson University in their upcoming match. A victory by National University, which is pursuing a five-peat in the SSL, will guarantee the Lady Tamaraws one of the two quarterfinal bonuses in their group.
This performance cements FEU's status as a formidable contender in the league, having now won all five of their games in the ongoing season. The team enjoys sponsorship support from notable brands including Shakey's Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner, and R&B Milk Tea, which highlights the backing of local businesses as they progress in this prestigious tournament.
