UNIVERSITY of Sto. Tomas (UST) posted a winning start as it outlasted Adamson University, 25-21, 25-21, 24-26, 24-26, 15-6, in Season 81 University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) women’s volleyball tournament on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

After squandering a two-set lead, the Golden Tigresses rediscovered their sharp offense in the deciding set to seize the season-opening victory.

Previous season’s Best Scorer Sisi Rondina sizzled with 17 points highlighted by 15 attacks while rookie Ejiya Laure also hammered out 17 markers built on 13 spikes and three blocks.

Last year’s Rookie of the Year Milena Alessandrini added 15 points, along with five other Tigresses who contributed on the offensive end.

Bernadette Flora had a team-high 14 points, Eli Soyud had 13 markers and Chiara Permentilla had 12 for Adamson in the loss. JEREMIAH M. SEVILLA
