University of the East unveiled a gem in Chris Ann Susbilla in a 25-21, 25-20, 25-16 victory over University of the Philippines Integrated School Wednesday in the UAAP Season 82 Girls Volleyball tournament at the Paco Arena.

Lovelee Hernandez and Verenicce Colendra each had six markers for the Junior Lady Warriors.
Tied at 11 in the third set, UE ended the game on a 14-5 run, highlighted by four service aces to sealed its first win of the season.
