PACESETTING University of Santo Tomas seeks its fifth straight victory when it faces Ateneo tomorrow in the 86th UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
The Golden Tigresses try to keep their hold on the top spot in their duel with the Blue Eagles at 2 p.m.
Adamson tangles with Far Eastern University in the other match at 4 o’clock.
Rookie Angeline Poyos, along with Mary Banagua, Xyza Gula and Cassie Carballo showed the way as UST edged Far Eastern University 22-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-20, 15-7 the last time out.
“First thing, ang una naming itinuturo sa kanila ay rumespeto ng kalaban regardless of whoever it is na nasa harapan namin. Kung ano iyong, again, kung paano kami nagre-ready doon sa mga nakalaban namin this past few weeks ganoon din ang ibibigay naming sa Ateneo.
“Kasi, lahat naman natututo, lahat naman dumadaan sa proseso. Sila, anytime puwedeng bumalik like Ateneo. Iyong respeto lang namin sa kanila na paghahandaan namin sila. First thing, we will scout them… Ire-ready namin iyong mga player namin,” he added.
Ateneo will lean on Lyann De Guzman, AC Miner, Sobe Buena and Roma Doromal in their bid to recover from a 12-25, 22-25, 19-25 loss to defending champion La Salle last Saturday.
