The UE Lady Warriors team will try to play spoiler against UST on the Tigresses' homecourt as they match up in UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball.
The UE Lady Warriors try to halt a lengthy skid as they take on the UST Golden Tigresses in UAAP Season 88 at the Quadricentennial Pavilion on Saturday, February 28.
The 11:00 a.m. showdown will be broadcast live on One Sports and Pilipinas Live, as both squads look to shift their early-season fortunes.
UE enters the match still winless at 0-3 and determined to end a 17-game slide that stretches back to Season 87.
Though the Lady Warriors have shown flashes of competitiveness, they have struggled to sustain their level of play in crucial stretches.
Princess Nogueras will be among those expected to step up after finishing with four points in their previous outing against Adamson.
A stronger offensive showing from her and the rest of the squad will be crucial if UE hopes to finally break through.
Meanwhile, UST carries momentum into the matchup after earning a breakthrough win over Ateneo.
Now at 1-2, the Golden Tigresses are eager to protect their home floor and build on the confidence gained from that victory.
Regina Jurado played a key role in UST’s bounce-back effort, tallying 12 points and 12 excellent receptions in a composed performance that steadied the Tigresses on both ends.
With UST aiming to defend its turf and UE hungry for its first win, both teams have plenty to play for in this early UAAP Season 88 encounter.
