No Eya Laure, no problem: UST Tigresses stay confident ahead of new UAAP season
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tigresses are aiming to prove their mettle in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament without former star player Eya Laure.
Libero Detdet Pepito acknowledged the challenge of filling the void left by Laure and other seniors, describing the current UST squad as a rebuilding team with many new players.
Despite losing Laure, Imee Hernandez, and Milena Alessandrini, who were instrumental in UST's previous Final Four appearance, the Tigresses remain confident.

The UST captain expressed the current Tigresses' resolve to forge their own path and achieve success in the new era.
