MANILA, Philippines–For the second straight game, La Salle showed up without its prolific hitter and luckily won by the skin of its teeth.

“It was a bad win. Although we won, it didn’t look good for us. I guess we are really being tested,” said La Salle assistant coach Noel Orcullo. They also narrowly escaped tailender University of the Philippines in four sets last time out. FULL STORY

Getting a wake-up call just before the Lenten break was probably the best thing that happened to University of Santo Tomas (UST) in Season 86 of the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament.

A 23-25, 25-17, 25-21, 25-20 back-to-earth beating taken at the hands of National University gave the Golden Tigresses something to reflect on and a firm idea on what they need to do for the remainder of the season.

“We have to maintain our grit,” Cassie Carballo told the Inquirer in Filipino as they brace for the second game of a new beginning when they battle University of the Philippines on Wednesday. FULL STORY
