The UST Golden Tigresses kept in step for the top spot in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament after taking down the UP Fighting Maroons in four sets, 25-11, 25-23, 23-25, 25-12, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay on Wednesday, March 5.
Despite falling short of its comeback bid in the third set, UST used that momentum to pull away early from UP in the fourth frame behind a 6-1 start.
The Golden Tigresses built their largest lead at 19-6 after Cassie Carballo’s service ace. From there, the España-based squad went on to secure a commanding win.
Regina Jurado led the way with 22 points on 21 attacks and one block.
This marks the Golden Tigresses’ fourth straight victory, tightening their hold of the second spot at 4-1, just behind the NU Lady Bulldogs, who remain unbeaten to start the season.
Meanwhile, the Fighting Maroons dropped their third straight game for a 2-3 record.
UST will go for its fifth straight win against the Ateneo Blue Eagles on Sunday, March 9, still at the MOA Arena.
