UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas eyes its sixth straight victory when it tangles with University of the Philippines today in the 86th UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

The unbeaten Tigresses are not giving an inch in the 2 p.m. match with the winless Fighting Maroons.

Adamson University and Ateneo take the floor in the day’s other fixture at 4 p.m.

Behind prolific rookie Angge Poyos, UST logged a perfect 5-0 record, its best start since opening its 2010-11 campaign with six straight wins.

Although she is running second behind University of the East’s do-it-all newcomer Casiey Dongallo in scoring, Poyos displayed efficiency in attacking, leading the league with 43.93 percent.

Poyos is third behind her teammate Cassie Carballo in the service department with a 0.40 average per set, and the 20-year-old open spiker is among the league’s top 10 in blocking.

But Poyos is simply focusing on helping the Tigresses in winning games.

“Yung mindset ko is maglaro lang at mag-contribute sa team. Iyon ang pinaka-importante.

Hindi importante yung individual performance basta iniisip ko lang na mag-contribute, offense and defense,” said Poyos.
