MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATED) Far Eastern University (FEU) has called on a legend of the school to take charge of their women's volleyball program.

The university announced on Wednesday that Tina Salak is the new head coach of the Lady Tamaraws, taking over for George Pascua.

Pascua left the team in June, shortly after the conclusion of their campaign in UAAP Season 84 where the Lady Tamaraws managed just one win in 14 games.

Salak is one of the most illustrious products of FEU's women's volleyball program, as she was part of two UAAP champion teams and was named Most Valuable Player in 1995. A mainstay of the Philippine Army club team, Salak won a bronze medal in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games with the national team.

"Coach Tina brings a wealth of experience and championship pedigree as a player and a coach as she returns to her alma mater," FEU said. "Let us wish Coach Tina and the Lady Tamaraws the best as the team prepares for UAAP Season 85."

Salak, now 45, was the head coach of the De La Salle Zobel girls volleyball team that won the UAAP Season 81 championship. She is also a member of the national team coaching staff under Brazilian mentor Jorge Edson Souza de Brito.

FEU also expressed its gratitude to Pascua, who coached the team starting in 2017 and steered the Lady Tamaraws to a finals appearance in Season 80. Pascua compiled a 23-26 record in four seasons in charge of the FEU women's volleyball team.

"A champion FEU coach, a champion FEU student-athlete, forever a Tamaraw. We wish you well in the next chapter of your career," the school said.
