MANILA, Philippines – The UST Golden Tigresses upped their hustle when they needed it most as the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament entered its home stretch, outgunning the Ateneo Blue Eagles in a four-set win, 25-22, 25-20, 27-29, 25-21, at the PhilSports Arena on Saturday, April 15.

After this loss, the sixth-ranked Blue Eagles no longer have their fate in their hands as NU can officially end their Final Four hopes with a win on Sunday, April 16, 12 pm, against fifth-place FEU . Although Alessandrini doused a bit of UST’s momentum with a service error, Laure quickly bounced back with a match point-forcing through-the-block hit, 24-21, while Hernandez scored one last block on Ateneo super scorer Faith Nisperos to seal the deal.

Nisperos tied her UAAP career-best effort with 31 points – also Season 85’s top scoring mark – in the heartbreaking loss off 29 attacks and 2 blocks. Vanie Gandler and Lyann de Guzman, meanwhile, were far second and third with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
