Rivals with the other Green and Gold teams

• The rivalry between the UST Golden Tigresses and the FEU Lady Tamaraws is one of the most storied in the UAAP, with these teams battling in the championship for 15 seasons (1988–2003). Nine titles were won by the FEU Lady Tamaraws.
• The De La Salle Lady Spikers and FEU Lady Tamaraws face off for seven times (Seasons 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 71, 80) in the UAAP finals most recently during Season 80. Adding special flavor to this rivalry is having FEU alumnus and multi-decorated coach Ramil De Jesus calling the shots for the Lady Spikers.
