UST head coach Kung Fu Reyes, who got a yellow card in the match after berating one of the officials, fired up his team and showed they are capable of winning against a veteran team like the Water Defenders.

“Alam na nila kung paano manalo, gagawin na lang is trabahuhin,” said Reyes whose team now holds a 3-0 record. “Nagawan namin ng paraan especially sa third set dun na bumagsak balikat ni Bali Pure, talagang tyinaga na nung mga bata.”

Mary Pacres, who came off the bench in all of the four sets, played closer for the Golden Tigresses when her hit bounced off the defense of Mae Tajima ultimately sealed UST’s victory.
