An in form UP Fighting Maroons hope to make the UE Lady Warriors their next victim in their quest for the UAAP Season 87 Final Four.
Fresh off their biggest win of the season, Niña Ytang and the UP Fighting Maroons aim to keep the momentum going as they take on the UE Lady Warriors in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball action on Sunday, March 30, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
UP (4-5) is riding high after stunning defending champion NU in a breakthrough victory last Wednesday.
Ytang erupted for a career-high 30 points in that upset and will once again be relied on as the Maroons continue their Final Four chase.
Meanwhile, UE (0-9) is still searching for its first win of the season but has shown signs of competitiveness.
The Lady Warriors pushed UP to five sets in their first-round meeting, proving they have the tools to challenge their opponents.
Anchored by the defense of Angelica Reyes, UE hopes this could finally be the match where the Lady Warriors break through the win column.
With postseason implications on the line for UP and redemption at stake for UE, expect an intense battle as both squads fight for a crucial result.
