Still searching for answers are the UP Fighting Maroons.

The Diliman-based squad are looking to snap a three-game skid in a UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball slugfest with the streaking UST Golden Spikers, Wednesday, March 5 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

UP has yet to register a victory since their season-opening victory over the UE Red Warriors, absorbing three consecutive defeats to slip to a 1-3 win-loss record alongside the Adamson Soaring Falcons.

 

Against the DLSU Green Spikers in their last outing, the Fighting Maroons could not sustain an impressive start and surrendered a four-set set loss.

 

Olayemi Raheem scored 19 points in a losing effort for UP while Gelay Lagando logged 11 markers more.

 

The Fighting Maroons also aim to end a six-game losing streak over the Golden Spikers with their last win over UST came in Season 80 back in 2018.
