FEU Men’s Volleyball power duo Nestor Molate and Arvin Avila with reserve Maverick Gabriel outlasted Henry Pecaña and Harby Ilano of defending champion UST in 21-12, 21-16 sets Saturday at the University of the East-Caloocan sand court to reclaim the UAAP Beach Volleyball crown, the Tamaraws last held three years ago.
Molate was declared as this season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP).
On the other hand, second-seeded and two-time Beach Volleyball champion, the FEU Women’s team played by Shaira Gonzales and Shedd dela Peña settled for third place after losing to La Salle’s Charlene Cruz and Mikaela Esperanza in three sets 21-14, 18-21, 16-14. Adamson’s Angela Benting and Paulina Soriano eventually won the Women’s title for two consecutive years. Benting was also the MVP for two years now.
We will be seeing more action from the FEU Men’s and Women’s Volleyball team this November for the opening of UAAP 73 Indoor Volleyball games.
