MANILA, Philippines — Six-peat-seeking National University booted out University of Santo Tomas in their UAAP Season 88 men’s volleyball Final Four match, 25-21, 30-28, 25-19, at the Araneta Coliseum Wednesday, forging a Finals rematch against Far Eastern University.

Likewise armed with a win-once advantage, FEU dispatched Ateneo de Manila in their semis pairing earlier.
