La Salle dropped its second consecutive match, falling 23-25, 22-25, 25-15, 19-25 to the UST Golden Spikers in their previous outing.

The Taft-based squad’s 0-2 start is its worst opening since beginning Season 81 in 2019 with an 0-3 record.

Cameroonian middle blocker Issa Ousseini led the Green Spikers with 16 points, while Chris Hernandez added 15 markers. 

Setter Ezer Regidor dished out 18 excellent sets, and Eugene Gloria and Rui Ventura combined for 17 points.

The only team this season yet to crack the win column, La Salle also looks to assert its mastery over UP, having won the last 10 meetings dating back to Season 80.
