The UST Golden Tigresses hope to quickly recover from their first game loss vs NU as they face off against La Salle in UAAP Season 88, a rematch from last year's Final Four.
Julia Balingit and the UST Golden Tigresses aim to turn promise into results when they renew their rivalry with the DLSU Lady Spikers in UAAP Season 88 on Sunday, February 22.
The match is set for 3:00 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
UST (0-1) absorbed a four-set loss to defending champion NU in its opener but showed flashes of competitiveness throughout the match.
Rookie revelation Balingit impressed with 10 points in her UAAP debut, hinting at her potential to become a key piece in the Tigresses’ rotation.
However, UST will need more than flashes as it faces a confident La Salle squad coming off a statement win.
La Salle is fresh from a big win against the FEU Lady Tamaraws, where veteran hitter Angel Canino fired 15 points.
The match also revisits last season’s Final Four encounter, where the Lady Spikers denied the Tigresses a Finals berth.
With pride and positioning at stake early in the season, expect an intense battle between two perennial contenders.
