Angge Poyos and Jonna Perdido delivered 16 points apiece, while Marga Altea and Regina Jurado combined for 26 markers for the Golden Tigresses, whose focused wasn’t solely on the results but on observing their responses and adaptability in various situations.

UST made quick work of LPU in the fourth set, storming to a six-point lead, capped by a Perdido offspeed hit, 16-10.

A Perdido tip over and Jurado’s through-the-block conversion completed the Golden Tigresses’ victory over the Lady Pirates.

After barely taking the opening set, the Golden Tigresses ran into a spate of miscues, ending up with 13 and enabling their NCAA rivals to draw level.

Johna Dolorito paced the Lady Pirates with 15 points, while Janeth Tulang and Heart Bio chipped in 11 and 10 markers, respectively.

UST will next face University of the East on Aug. 4, while LPU tries to bounce back against the University of the Philippines on Aug. 7.
