The Ateneo Blue Eagles will rely on short memory as they try to flip the script on UST in their first meeting of UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball.
Ana Hermosura and the Ateneo Blue Eagles look to turn heartbreak into motivation when they face the UST Golden Tigresses on Wednesday in UAAP Season 88.
Match time is 1:00 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Ateneo (0-2) is coming off a gut-wrenching five-set loss to UP, where the Blue Eagles squandered a 2-0 lead.
The defeat stung even more given the brilliance of rookie Hermosura, who erupted for 19 points in a breakout performance for the Blue Eagles.
Now, Ateneo hopes to channel that strong individual showing into a collective breakthrough.
Hermosura’s emergence gives the Blue Eagles a reliable scoring option, but they will need improved composure in crunch time to finally secure their first win of the season.
UST, also winless at 0-2, will be equally desperate, setting the stage for a high-pressure showdown between two proud programs eager to get on track.
