The DLSU Lady Spikers come rejuvenated against fellow title contender UST Golden Tigresses in their second game of UAAP Season 88.
Angel Canino and the DLSU Lady Spikers brace for another high-stakes showdown as they face the UST Golden Tigresses in the first round of UAAP Season 88 on Sunday, February 22.
Gametime is 3:00 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The two rivals enter the matchup coming off contrasting starts.
La Salle opened its campaign with a dominant straight-sets victory over FEU, signaling its readiness to contend once again.
Canino led the charge with 15 points, showcasing her poise and offensive versatility against a gritty Tamaraws side.
Now facing another potential title contender, the Lady Spikers will look to sustain their rhythm and assert their system early in the tournament.
La Salle will look to neutralize rookie threat Julia Balingit who was able to churn out 10 points in the Golden Tigresses’ game against NU.
This also serves as a rematch of last season’s Final Four duel, where La Salle eliminated UST to clinch a Finals berth—adding extra fire to an already heated rivalry.
