Angelica Reyes and the UE Lady Warriors look to finally break into the win column as they take on the UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball on Sunday, March 30, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Still winless at 0-9, UE hopes to turn past frustrations into success, especially after showing glimpses of competitiveness earlier in the season. 

Their five-set battle against UP in the first round proved they can go toe-to-toe with the Maroons, and with Reyes anchoring the defense, the Lady Warriors aim to make the necessary adjustments to finally secure victory.

Meanwhile, UP (4-5) is riding the momentum of an emphatic upset over defending champion NU, keeping them in the Final Four conversation. 

Niña Ytang erupted for a career-high 30 points in that match and will be a focal point once again as the Maroons attempt to stay in the playoff hunt.

With UE hungry for a win and UP chasing a Final Four spot, both squads have everything to play for in this crucial showdown.
