UAAP POW Angge Poyos vows: ‘Meron pang ibubuga sa next games’


Angge Poyos introduced herself in the UAAP scene by leading University of Santo Tomas to an immaculate 3-0 slate after the first week of action, including two huge wins against powerhouses NU Lady Bulldogs and De La Salle Lady Spikers — the finalists in the last two seasons.

With the remarkable start in her collegiate career, Poyos was hailed by the Collegiate Press Corps as the UAAP Player of the Week presented by San Miguel Corporation for the duration of February 17 to 25.

Poyos averaged 20 points in the three matches including a career-best output of 24 points in her first of many battles with another sensational rookie Casiey Dongallo from University of the East.

But it was in the duel against the defending champion where she truly made her mark after showcasing a grace under pressure as no less than a rookie.

The 5-foot-8 outside hitter scored four of her 22 points in the deciding set including two in the 6-0 finishing kick of the Golden Tigresses to stun the Lady Spikers, 25-18, 25-23, 14-25, 16-25, 15-12.

Despite her steady performance in their first three outings, which also included a 16-point debut against NU, the UST High School product hopes for more consistency moving forward.

“Masasabi ko na ito na talaga yung performance ko, ito na talaga yung Angge pero meron pang ibubuga sa next games,” said Poyos.

“Super happy lang kasi nakapag-contribute nga ako sa team and medyo nagiging consistent na ako this time and I hope sa mga susunod pa na mga games mas ilaban ko pa.”

The UST rookie edged out other candidates in teammate Bernadett Pepito, La Salle’s Angel Canino, and UE’s Dongallo for the weekly recognition voted by the print and online scribes regularly covering the beat.
