The UST Golden Tigresses will attempt to keep going in UAAP Season 87 with a do-or-die Final Four contest against La Salle.
Reg Jurado and the UST Golden Tigresses are out to revive their title hopes as they face off against the DLSU Lady Spikers in a high-stakes UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball Final Four clash on Saturday, May 3, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Facing the daunting task of overcoming La Salle’s twice-to-beat advantage, the third-seeded Tigresses aim to replicate past playoff heroics and force a winner-take-all Game 2 on Wednesday.
Though coming off back-to-back losses, UST remains undeterred—especially with a proven track record of rising to the occasion against the Lady Spikers.
Leading the charge is sensational sophomore Angge Poyos, who has been the heart of UST’s offense all season long.
But for the Tigresses to topple their higher-seeded foes, they will need a complete team effort, including a bounce-back performance from Reg Jurado, who hopes to make a bigger impact in support of Poyos.
La Salle may have won their playoff for the no. 2 seed just days ago, but UST knows momentum can quickly shift in the unforgiving postseason.
The Lady Spikers are looking to avoid another ambush from the very team that has haunted them in recent semifinals.
For the Tigresses, this isn’t just about survival—it’s about reclaiming pride, proving their resilience, and keeping their championship dreams alive.
