MANILA, Philippines — Chenie Tagaod and Faida Bakanke came out firing for Far Eastern University to end their two-game skid and solidify their Final Four chances in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament.

MANILA, Philippines — Angge Poyos has been on a scoring tear in her rookie year with the University of Santo Tomas in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament.

And with the way Poyos has been dominating the league so far, she could follow in the footsteps of rookie-MVPs in National University’s Bella Belen and La Salle’s Angel Canino. Though, Poyos is not aiming for any individual accolades as her scoring prowess was built by her determination to contribute to the rebuilding Tigresses.

The Tigresses brought out the coveted kicks specially designed with UST colors and a tiger and claw marks to match. The 14 pairs of shoes were donated by a sponsor who preferred not to be named and were painted by artist Chachi Victorino in four days.

Less than a week removed from showing character beyond its years and unveiling a new offensive weapon, University of Santo Tomas returns to the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament floor on Saturday, looking to snatch win No. 5 and extend what has been an unbelievable run by a young squad never given much of a chance in all preseason talk.

The Golden Tigresses battle struggling Ateneo in the 2 p.m. game at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, having all the momentum and confidence they need especially after roaring back from two sets down to clip Far Eastern in a win that had someone outside of Angge Poyos or Regina Jurado bailing them out.
