The UST Golden Tigresses hope to finally course correct after their flat start, taking on Ateneo in UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball.
Xyza Gula and the UST Golden Tigresses find themselves in unfamiliar territory early in UAAP Season 88, entering Wednesday’s 1:00 p.m. clash against the Ateneo Blue Eagles still searching for their first win.
The match will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on February 25.
Last season’s third placers have stumbled to a 0-2 start, absorbing tough losses that exposed both growing pains and missed opportunities.
In their most recent outing against La Salle, UST showed flashes of life, particularly when Gula provided a late spark in the third set.
However, the Tigresses have yet to sustain that energy for an entire match.
Consistency will be the key word for UST moving forward starting with this match with Ateneo.
Gula, along with the rest of the Tigresses’ core, will need to deliver steady production from start to finish if they are to halt their skid.
With both teams entering winless, this matchup presents a crucial opportunity to reset their campaign.
A victory would not only boost morale but also prevent the Tigresses from digging an even deeper hole in the standings this early in the tournament.
