Angge Poyos optimistic for UST Golden Tigresses' championship next year

Rookie of the Year Angge Poyos is optimistic that the UST Golden Tigresses will contend for the championship next year, despite their loss in the UAAP Season 86 finals.

Poyos, who led the España-based squad in scoring, spiking, and serving, played through a grade III right ankle sprain sustained in Game 1.

She was a game-time decision for Game 2, but was able to play and start, although the injury hampered her performance.

Poyos expressed gratitude for her coaches' trust and the team's maiden finals appearance, acknowledging they "fell short" but were "grateful for their feat this year."

She vowed that the team, with its young core, would use their current experience as motivation to aim for the championship next year.

Poyos stated, "Sobrang proud lang ako kasi first season ko sa collegiate. Hindi man kami nag-champion ngayon, for sure, next year, mas pagbubutihan namin na makuha ang gold medal."
