UST clashes with Ateneo in second round of UAAP volleyball
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Tigresses concluded the first round of the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament with an undefeated 7-0 record.
They secured their seventh straight win with a victory over Adamson University, marking UST's best start in the Final Four era and their first opening-round sweep since Season 69 (2006-07).
Rookie Angge Poyos led UST with a game-high 26 points against Ateneo in the first round, a career-best for her, but acknowledges that the team needs to work on several adjustments, particularly their net defense.
Setter Cassie Carballo expressed gratitude for exceeding expectations, stating they took it one game at a time.
Despite the successful first round, Carballo warns against complacency as preseason favorites La Salle (6-1) and National University (5-2) are close behind.
The Golden Tigresses are looking to maintain their drive in the second round and aim to end a 14-year drought.
