UST stumbled in its season opener, falling 22-25, 27-29, 19-25 to rivals and five-time defending champions NU Bulldogs.
After a hard-fought first two sets, the Golden Spikers couldn’t match NU’s consistency in the third.
No UST player reached double-digit scoring as two-time MVP Josh Ybañez topscored the squad with eight points and 15 excellent receptions.
Trevor Valera and Umandal also contributed eight points each, but the Golden Spikers gave up 31 points off errors.
Now, the Golden Spikers aim to regroup as they take on a DLSU side that is also coming off a season-opening loss at the hands of the FEU Tamaraws.
