MANILA, Philippines — The De La Salle Lady Spikers clinched a twice-to-beat Final Four advantage after denying the FEU Lady Tamaraws, 25-17, 25-22, 23-25, 19-25, 15-10, in the UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena Wednesday.

La Salle stayed undefeated at 11-0 and secured at least a top two finish in the 14-game elimination round which merits the semifinal bonus.

FEU dropped to 6-5 for fifth place.

Canino added 13 excellent digs and 10 receptions to her name, while Laput backstopped her with 23 points and seven digs.

Lovely Lopez poured 16 points and logged 24 excellent receptions to pace the Lady Tamaraws.
