Carandang made her first game appearance with the FEU Lady Tamaraws in UAAP in the UAAP Season 79 where her team placed in 4th.
Her team got a 10–4 win–loss record in the elimination round of UAAP Season 80 women's volleyball tournament. FEU Lady Tamaraws won over Ateneo Lady eagles in playoffs and semifinals, and sent FEU to its first finals appearance after 9-year drought.
UAAP Season 83 was supposedly the last playing year of Carandang for the Lady Tamaraws, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was still cancelled, and she decided to forgo her final year to go pro.[1]
