UAAP: UST got its ‘grit’ back, says Pepito after repeat vs La Sale
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Tigresses secured their second consecutive five-set victory against the De La Salle University (DLSU) Lady Spikers in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament.
This win extends UST's winning streak over La Salle to four games dating back to last year, despite missing key players like injured spiker Jonna Perdido.
Team captain Detdet Pepito highlighted that the team's "grit" and improved teamwork were key factors in their comeback win after being down two sets to one.
Pepito emphasized the importance of relying on each other, noting that the team had previously played more individually.
The Golden Tigresses displayed a balanced attack, with Angge Poyos leading the charge with 28 points, complemented by strong performances from Reg Jurado and Marga Altea.
Pepito believes their success against La Salle stems from factors beyond the numbers, attributing it to their "hunger" and teamwork.
