It has been a while since the UP Fighting Maroons tasted victory.
On a five-game losing skid, the Fighting Maroons are raring to finally snap a five-game losing skid in battling the fellow struggling squad Adamson Soaring Falcons in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament, Sunday, March 16 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.
After conquering the UE Red Warriors in their season opener, it has been a nightmarish stretch for the Fighting Maroons who went on to drop their next five assignments.
At 1-5, UP is in the second to the last place in the team standings--just above the winless Red Warriors (0-5).
The Fighting Maroons snatched one set from the five peat-seeking NU before the Bulldogs came out on top via four sets.
Olayemi Raheem got going for UP with a team-high 16 points on 15 attacks and one block, while Tommy Castrodes added 13 points built on 12 attacks and one block.
Match time is at 9:00 a.m.
