Far Eastern University was a solid force at the 15th University Games (UNIGAMES) in Dumaguete City from October 24 to 30 bagging five medals.
Tamaraw teams that copped gold medals include Women's Table Tennis and Men's Volleyball, while Women's Chess and Women's Badminton settled for silvers. The Men's Basketball team took home a bronze at the expense of UAAP finals tormentor Ateneo De Manila.

The Women's Table tennis team continued their winning ways a few weeks after bagging their fourth straight title in the UAAP. The team was able to hold off strong performances from DLS - College of St. Benilde and San Beda College.

Meanwhile, the Men's Volleyball team arguably made the most significant showing in the UNIGAMES. The Tamaraw spikers defeated arch-rival and UAAP Champion UST in five thrilling sets in the semis.

The title still did not come easy as the Tams had to fend off a gritty stand from Foundation University, which stretched the championship to five sets, 21-25, 25-13, 23-25, 25-16 and 15-13.

Siliman University hosted the week-long annual event. Areas being considered for the 16th UNIGAMES include Roxas, Baguio and Bacolod
