Golden Tigresses breeze past Lady Falcons


In one of the shortest matches of Season 79 so far, the University of Santo Tomas Golden Tigresses demolished the lowly Adamson University Lady Falcons, 25-13, 25-12, 25-9, for their second win at the FilOil Flying V Centre.

Lasting just under an hour and 20 minutes, UST lorded it over their San Marcelino-based counterparts on all fronts, serving 14 aces to Adamson’s zero and converting 31 spikes to Adamson’s 16. The Tigresses also limited their errors to a season-low 15.

“Alam naman natin na ang Adamson wala pang [win] this season. Nandoon ‘yung desire to win pero wala pa ‘yung materyales at experience sa ngayon para manalo. Nandiyan din kami last year kaya alam ko ‘yung pinagdaanan nila,” remarked UST head coach Kungfu Reyes.

11 players scored for UST, led by skipper Cherry Rondina who tallied 15 points. Ej Laure and Alina Bicar each had six points.

“Sa part namin, gusto ko lang naman na lutasin nila ‘yung problema nila with communication. Ganyan kasi ‘yung nilalaro nila sa ensayo. Ang problema, hindi nila nae-execute pagdating sa game dahil hindi sila nag-uusap. Siyempre, ang saklap naman kung patuloy kaming matatalo dahil lang hindi sila nag-uusap,” added Reyes.

UST improve their record to 2-3, good for sixth in the standing. They next face the National University Lady Bulldogs (3-1) on Wednesday at the FilOil Flying V Centre.

Team captain Jema Galanza was the only Lady Falcon who managed a significant scoring output, with seven points.

Adamson fall to eighth place with a 0-6 record. They get their best chance at a win next Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena when they take on the University of the East Lady Warriors (0-5).
