It has been 345 days since the UE last won a game in the UAAP men’s volleyball tournament, and the Red Warriors are eager to change that early in Season 87.
Try and try until you succeed.
UE looks to finally wake up from a nightmarish stretch as the Red Warriors will go toe-to-toe against the Adamson Soaring Falcons in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament, Wednesday, February 26, at the Mall of Asia Arena. Match time is at 11:00 a.m.
Currently on a nine-game losing skid dating back to Season 86, John Aligayon and Co. welcome another opportunity to finally chalk up a much-needed victory.
It was back on March 17, 2024 when the Red Warriors last won a match in the men’s volleyball tournament, scoring a five-set win over the UP Fighting Maroons.
Since then, UE went winless in the second round — going 0-7 — on top of dropping their first two games this Season 87.
Against the Josh Ybañez-less UST, the Red Warriors could not exorcise the ghosts of the past and stumbled in straight sets.
Roy Piojo finished with a 13-points in that straight-set defeat as Andre Bicard tallied eight excellent sets and three excellent digs.
