Far Eastern University defeated and eliminated University of Santo Tomas, 25-19, 25-19, 15-25, 21-25, 15-9, in the UAAP women's volleyball semifinals on Wednesday at The Arena in San Juan.

According to a UAAP statement, Shaira Gonzalez led the Lady Tams in ousting the defending tilists UST Tigresses and arranging a finals duel with the Adamson University Lady Falcons which triumphed over Atendeo de Manila University Lady Blue Eagles, 25-19, 26-24, 25-16, in the other semifinals match.

"Hindi ko na sila binigyan ng instruction sa fifth set, diskarte na lang ang nagpanalo sa amin," Lady Tams coach Nes Pamilar said. "Sinabi ko na lang sa kanila na magtiwala na lamang sa sarili nila at ginawa nila."

FEU will try to bag their 29th women's title starting Sunday against Adamson.

The pumped up Michelle Segodine posted 16 hits while teammate Sang Laguilles had 13 for the Lady Falcons, who are targeting their first ever league championship.
