Eya Laure leads as top scorer in UAAP 85 women's volleyball

Published Apr 10, 2023 08:37 am
Veteran spiker Eya Laure emerged as the league’s top scorer midway through the second round of the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament. The statistical race for different individual honors is getting tighter with less than three weeks to go before the semifinals rolls along. Laure steered University of Santo Tomas to a 7-3 record in the standings following a four-set win over top seed De La Salle on April 2 before heading to the Holy Week break. The graduating skipper exploded with 29 points on 29 kills after a 45-percent efficiency outing for the Golden Tigresses and handed the Lady Spikers their first loss of the season for a 9-1 card. With her consistent might and leadership, Laure, who was previously four points behind Angel Canino in the scoring category, is now 12 points clear of the La Salle super rookie (156) in the race followed by another rookie in Adamson’s Trisha Tubu (134). In 10 matches, Laure tallied 168 points on 141 attacks, 17 blocks and 10 aces, including a 37.30 percent success rate in spiking to rank No. 2 behind National University’s Alyssa Solomon (38.51 percent). Laure also ranked No. 8 in blocking (0.46 percent), while making it to the top 10 in serving and digging with 0.27% and 2%, respectively. Laure, however, refused to be carried away by the big win as UST has four more games ahead when the tournament resumes on Wednesday, April 12. The 24-year-old spiker was also glad to be backed by her teammates in their total effort against La Salle. “Siyempre lagi ko naman iniisip papaluin ko na to. Kung ano man mangyari mayroon namang coverage si Detdet. (Bernadette Pepito). Doon sa second set naman, para siya sa aming gising. Kapag may pumalo, kailangan namin mag-cover. Magtrabaho, ‘yon pa rin naman. Kasi nga lagi kong iniisip na para maramdaman din nila na ‘yong panalo hindi ‘yan lalapit kailangan talaga pagtrabahuhan lagi,” said Laure. “Lahat kasi ng pagkatalo namin noong previous game, doon kami humuhugot ng motivation na ayaw na namin maramdaman iyong nagtatrabaho ka ng sobra pero parang hindi natutumbasan or nasusuklian ng tama,” she added. UST is gunning for the second seed as it chases Adamson for the spot. The Golden Tigresses will return to action against the Ateneo Blue Eagles on Saturday, April 15. With the Laure-led UST’s upset win over La Salle came the return of the Final Four after an averted potential elimination sweep.
