MANILA, Philippines —Instead of letting her crucial errors get to her, Cassie Carballo found a way to power through for University of Santo Tomas.

Carballo committed service errors that allowed Ateneo to force a decider but made up for them with two crucial aces in the fifth set to keep the Tigresses unbeaten in eight games in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament.

“Naging motivation ko lang din po ‘yung service error ko kasi super crucial po nung fourth set. So talagang sinabi ko sa sarili ko na kailangan kong magtiwala sa sarili ko para makabawi kasi kailangan din ako ng team ko,” said Carballo after the 25-15, 27-25, 23-25, 26-28, 15-13 win. FULL STORY
