UST beats UE in UAAP men's, women's volleyball
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Spikers secured their first victory in the UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball tournament by defeating the University of the East (UE) in straight sets.
Rookie JJ Macam spearheaded UST's offense with 14 points, stepping up in the absence of the injured two-time MVP Josh Ybañez.
Middle blocker Poy Colinares, Jay Rack De La Noche, and Gboy De Vega also contributed significantly to the win with 12, 12, and 10 points respectively.
UST coach Odjie Mamon expressed confidence in his team's depth, stating that any player can step up and that he was satisfied with their performance after their previous loss.
Josh Ybañez is expected to be out for two weeks due to an ankle sprain and his return for the upcoming match against La Salle remains uncertain.
The University of the East continues to struggle, dropping to a 0-2 record and extending their losing streak to nine games dating back to last season.
