The UE Red Warriors are determined to make the most of their remaining three games in UAAP Season 87, starting against the no. 2 and four-time defending champion NU Bulldogs.
With nothing to lose, UE eyes to spoil some playoff plans.
The Red Warriors aim to derail the four-time champion NU Bulldogs’ entry into the Final Four in their UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball showdown, Wednesday, April 9, at the PhilSports Arena, Pasig City.
UE is still in the hunt for a breakthrough in the competition, and has three chances of avoiding a winless campaign.
An 11th straight loss fell on the lap of the Red Warriors behind a straight-set setback to the DLSU Green Spikers.
Despite pushing the De La Salle to the limit in the opening set, UE fell apart en route to extending their losing streak to 18 games dating back to the second round of Season 86.
Rookie gunner Roy Piojo spearheaded the Red Warriors’ effort with 14 points, while Xjhann Camaymayan chipped in 11 markers.
After NU, UE’s last two games in Season 87 will be against other Final Four hopefuls UST Golden Spikers (7-4) and Ateneo Blue Eagles (6-5).
Game time is at 9:00 a.m.
