After back-to-back losses in UAAP Season 87, Nica Celis and the UP Fighting Maroons will try to get back on track when they face the streaking UST Golden Tigresses on Wednesday, March 5, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Now at 2-2, UP is searching for answers on offense, with Celis expected to step up and spark the attack against a red-hot UST squad. 

Meanwhile, the Golden Tigresses (3-1) have won three straight games and are determined to keep their momentum as they continue to chase defending champion NU in the standings.

UST libero Detdet Pepito will play a crucial role in keeping the Tigresses organized on defense, ensuring they stay sharp against a UP team eager to avoid a third consecutive loss. 

With both squads eyeing a pivotal win, this matchup promises to be a battle of resilience and determination.
