In front of 20,955 witnesses, the Bulldogs got on the loose and went for the double ambush on the Tigers' lair - with little to no resistance to draw first blood in their virtual tag team duel for the UAAP volleyball supremacy.

The National U spikers mauled Santo Tomas squads with sweeping victories for 1-0 leads in the rare UAAP Season 86 men's and women's volleyball finals featuring the same casts yesterday at the jampacked SmartAraneta Coliseum.

The Bulldogs feasted on the Golden Spikers with a 25-17, 26-24, 25-19 win in their finale rematch while the Lady Bulldogs pounced on the crippled Golden Tigresses, who took the toll of Angge Poyos' ankle injury in the second set, for a 25-23, 25-20, 25-20 runaway triumph in the best-of three showdowns.
