MANILA, Philippines–University of Santo Tomas contained National University’s nothing-to-lose attitude with a 27-25, 25-17, 20-25, 25-16, Saturday to keep its hopes alive for a twice-to-beat incentive in the UAAP women’s volleyball at FilOil Flying V Center.
In winning their fourth straight match, the Tigresses will earn a playoff for that bonus if Far Eastern University defeats La Salle on Sunday in the last day of eliminations.
Season’s top Most Valuable Player contender Sisi Rondina turned in MVP numbers with 21 points, all on attacks, to power UST’s 10th win in 14 matches going into the Final Four.
