UE continues its pursuit of an elusive first win in UAAP Season 87 as the Red Warriors brawl with the DLSU Green Spikers in the the men’s volleyball tournament, Saturday, April 5, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City. 

Already out in Final Four contention, UE is now looking to salvage pride and make the most of the opportunity to derail DLSU’s playoff push.

The Red Warriors suffered a 10th straight loss in their last outing after succumbing to the UP Fighting Maroons.

Raquim Aceron fired a team-high 20 points but UE saw their long-standing drought extended to 17 matches dating back in the second round of Season 86.

Team captain Xjhann Camaymayan added 12 points, while Isaiah Roca and Roy Piojo combined for 21 markers.

UE recorded its last victory over DLSU since the second round of Season 76 in 2014. Can the Red Warriors’ end an 11-year winless drought over the Green Spikers?

Serving time is at 11:00 a.m.
