University of Santo Tomas veteran Pam Lastimosa just had her best game in her first season back with the Golden Tigresses in the UAAP, scoring 10 points in their three-set win over University of the East.

Lastimosa, though, said she hasn’t returned to peak form after an ACL tear prevented her from playing in Season 78.

“I think this is not my best form, and I always say to myself I still haven’t reached my peak,” said Lastimosa Saturday after leading the Golden Tigresses 25-21, 25-15, 25-23, over the University of the East at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

With Lastimosa’s help, UST improved to 5-3 and tied National University in third place.

Lastimosa added the Golden Tigresses have finally found their confidence after starting the season at 1-3.
