The UST Golden Tigresses, Season 86's finalists, hope to join the win column in UAAP Season 87 as they face the UE Lady Warriors.
The UST Golden Tigresses aim to shake off a tough opening loss as they face the UE Lady Warriors this Saturday, February 22, at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Coming off a four-set defeat against the FEU Lady Tamaraws, the Tigresses—finalists from last season—find themselves in unfamiliar territory, searching for their first win of the year.
Injuries to key players have tested their depth early on, but UST remains a dangerous squad eager to remind every one of their championship pedigree. Reg Jurado will be at the forefront of the cavalry.
Meanwhile, the Lady Warriors showed grit in their season opener, pushing UP to a five-set thriller before falling short. Despite offseason departures, UE proved they could compete, making them a potential spoiler for UST’s bounce-back plans.
With both teams carrying 0-1 records, expect an intense battle as the Tigresses look to steady their campaign while UE aims to pull off an early-season statement win.
