Rookie Angge Poyos exploded with a career-high performance to power University of Santo Tomas past Ateneo in dominant style, 25-19, 25-16, 25-19, for its fifth straight win in the first round of the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament on Saturday, March 9, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Golden Tigresses flexed their offensive might to stay as the only undefeated team in the standings in five games. 

On the other end, the loss, however, dropped the Blue Eagles further at a 1-4 slate after also coming off a nasty straight-set loss against defending champion De La Salle Lady Spikers last week. 

Poyos, 20, has been UST’s top scorer since making her debut this season. 

This time, though, she didn’t need an extended affair to deliver a career-high 26 points built on 20 attacks, two blocks and three service aces including the clincher that sealed the victory in just three sets.

Regina Jurado, for her part, delivered 12 markers highlighted by 10 attacks. 

The España-based squad held the upper hand from start until endgame and showed no letup, even jumping to a telling 17-6 advantage in the second set, which was the biggest of the match.

In the third set, though, just as UST was about to pull away for good, Ateneo briefly found momentum with a 6-0 counter-attack to pull itself within only one, 13-12. 

However, the Golden Tigresses regained their footing with a 9-5 fightback en route to the victory. 

Lyann De Guzman paced the Blue Eagles with 11 points as the lone bright spot, while the rest of the team were limited to a single-digit showing. 

UST dominated Ateneo in all fronts including 50 attacks compared to the latter’s 29. 

Despite giving away more points in errors compared to the Blue Eagles, the Golden Tigresses more than made up for the oversight with six blocks and eight service aces.
