Far Eastern University laid claim to the title as the top collegiate team on the sand court as it dominated University of Mindanao-Tagum City in the PCSO Invitational Women’s Inter-Collegiate Beach Volleyball Challenge recently at the Cantada Sports Center in Bagumbayan, Taguig City.

Camille Abanto and Marigail Tolentino fashioned out a fast and strong start then sustained the momentum en route to a 21-14, 21-18 victory over the pair of Lourdilyn Catubag and Karen Quilarion in the finals of the event organized by Joe Cantada Sports and backed by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Toyota-Otis, Toyota-Balintawak, Tanduay, Lucio Tan Jr. and Mapecon with ZestAir as the official airline.

“It was a well-played campaign for FEU. The other teams also played well but in the end, the best team emerged,” said Edgard “Boy” Cantada of the organizing Joe Cantada Sports.

Aside from the two finalists, other teams which saw action here were Ateneo de Davao University; Central Philippine University, Iloilo; University of St. La Salle-Bacolod; Ateneo de Manila University; University of the East; Colegio de San Juan de Letran; Adamson University; World Citi College and University of the Philippines.
