UAAP: Pride and redemption fuel La Salle’s finals return
The De La Salle University Lady Spikers have advanced to the UAAP Season 87 Finals after defeating the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Tigresses in a four-set match with scores of 25-22, 11-25, 25-21, 25-21.
Skipper Angel Canino led the Lady Spikers with 19 points, while Amie Provido and Shevana Laput also contributed significantly.
This victory gives La Salle a measure of payback for their ouster by UST in the previous year's Final Four.
The Lady Spikers will face the National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs in a best-of-three finals rematch, setting up a trilogy for the title.

Head coach Ramil de Jesus expressed satisfaction with the win despite a slow start and aims for improvement in the finals.
