UAAP women’s volleyball: UST outlasts La Salle in five-set thriller

University of Santo Tomas carved out a first winning streak in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament after surviving La Salle, 25-15, 22-25, 13-25, 25-23, 15-13, on Thursday at Mall of Asia Arena.

The Golden Tigresses leaned on an all-around effort to improve to  a 2-1 record but it was hugely because of Angge Poyos’ 28-point output built on 24 attacks, three blocks and an ace apart from 16 excellent digs.

“What a great match, as people have been saying. Credit also to La Salle for playing well,” assistant coach Yani Fernandez said. “When it came to the fifth set, we told ourselves that whoever wanted the win more would be the one to get it.”

UAAP: Mayang Nuique embracing role, new position for Adamson

MANILA, Philippines — Mayang Nuique is determined to thrive in her new position as the opposite spiker for the young Adamson Lady Falcons in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament.

After spraining her ankle in the weekend opener and being limited to five points in their four-set loss to La Salle last Saturday, Nuique dropped nine points in Adamson’s 25-20, 25-15, 25-12 sweep of the University of the East on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.

Nuique was converted back from middle blocker to opposite spiker — her position in her rookie season two years ago, and the versatile player is bringing all her experiences from both experiences to help the rookie-laden Adamson.

UAAP: Goggles not standing in the way of Shaina Nitura’s rise

MANILA, Philippines — Part of Shaina Nitura’s sensational entry to the collegiate ranks is a piece of eyewear that keeps her game on point in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament.

Aside from Nitura’s scoring prowess, her goggles have also caught the attention of the fans after the Adamson Lady Falcons won two of their first three games.

She has a  vision grade of 275 on her left eye and 375 on her right and also suffers from astigmatism, but that hasn’t stopped her from shining as one of the emerging stars of Philippine volleyball.

Adamson returned to its winning ways after making quick work of University of the East, 25-20, 25-15, 25-12, in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.

Shaina Nitura boosted the Soaring Falcons to an improved 2-1 win-loss standing with 18 points from 16 attacks, a block and an ace apart from 11 excellent digs.

Frances Mordi backstopped the rising rookie with 11 points as Fhei Sagaysay dished out 15 excellent sets.

UAAP men’s volleyball: UST blanks La Salle, Adamson gets first win

MANILA, Philippines — University of Santo Tomas continued to roll despite the absence of Josh Ybañez, sweeping contender La Salle, 25-21, 25-20, 25-16, in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.

Ybañez, a two-time MVP,  missed his second straight game due to a grade 2 ankle sprain but the Golden Spikers worked as one unit to win their second straight game in three matches, to tie National University and Ateneo at 2-1.

Poy Colinares sustained his fine form with a game-high 17 points on an efficient 11-of-15 attacking clip, five blocks, and an ace for their first win against La Salle since the second round of Season 85 last April 2, 2023.

UAAP: Tigresses, Lady Spikers clash to sustain recoveries from opening defeats

Having identical starts in their UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball campaigns, La Salle and University of Santo Tomas (UST) will be stepping on the court on Wednesday having similar outlooks they want to accomplish at each other’s expense.

The Lady Spikers and the Growling Tigresses were run to the ground by different foes to open their respective seasons, and after bouncing back the next time, they obviously would want to start their first winning streak on Wednesday.

“We’re happy to get the win because we reminded ourselves that it’s important to take it one game at a time,” Reg Jurado said in Filipino after leading Santo Tomas past University of the East, 28-26, 22-25, 25-23, 25-15, last weekend.
