The UST Golden Tigresses are out to prove they have a crack at NU’s reign when they meet for the first time since last year’s Finals to close round 1 of UAAP Season 87.
Angge Poyos and the UST Golden Tigresses have their sights set on revenge as they take on Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, and the NU Lady Bulldogs in a UAAP Season 87 rematch of last year’s finals on Sunday, March 16, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
After suffering a Finals sweep at the hands of NU last season, UST is determined to turn the tide.
The Tigresses have won five straight games since dropping their season opener, proving they are once again a championship contender.
Meanwhile, NU remains the team to beat, holding a flawless 6-0 record as the champs look to extend their dominance.
Poyos, UST’s electrifying sophomore, will be crucial in their quest to finally overcome the defending champions. But stopping Belen and Solomon, NU’s ever-reliable duo, will be no easy task.
Can UST finally break NU’s hold over them, or will the Lady Bulldogs reassert their supremacy? The battle for momentum and pride is set for an explosive showdown.
