The UST Golden Tigresses will try to prove they still have the DLSU Lady Spikers' number when they clash for the first time in UAAP Season 87.
The UST Golden Tigresses will look to remind the DLSU Lady Spikers why they were last season’s heartbreakers when the two rivals collide in UAAP Season 87 action on Wednesday at 5 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Both teams enter the matchup with 1-1 records, but UST is still dealing with injuries that have tested their depth early in the season.
Despite the setbacks, the Tigresses remain a formidable force, leaning on key players Pia Abbu, Regina Jurado, and Angge Poyos to carry the load. They are coming off a win over UE, shaking off an opening-weekend loss to FEU.
On the other side, La Salle is fresh off a confidence-boosting victory over Adamson and is eager to notch back-to-back wins.
Middle blocker Amie Provido is expected to step up as the Lady Spikers seek revenge against the team that eliminated them from last year’s semifinals.
With pride and momentum on the line, expect a fierce battle as UST looks to reaffirm their edge over La Salle and push ahead in the standings.
