Now back on their home floor, the Tigresses hope to string together consecutive wins and continue their climb in the standings.
Regina Jurado will once again be counted on to deliver for UST. The veteran contributor turned in a steady all-around performance in their breakthrough win, finishing with 12 points and 12 excellent receptions to anchor both their offense and floor defense.
On the other side, UE remains in search of its first victory at 0-3. The Lady Warriors are also aiming to snap a 17-game losing streak that dates back to their winless campaign in Season 87.
Princess Nogueras will look to provide a bigger lift after tallying four points in their last outing against Adamson. For UE to pull off an upset on the road, a more cohesive and productive performance will be needed.
With UST riding a wave of confidence and UE playing with urgency, an intense morning clash is expected inside the Quadricentennial Pavilion.
