De La Salle University (DLSU) and University of Santo Tomas (UST) are set to face each other in the upcoming weeks, with all eyes on Angel Canino’s potential return to the defending champion Lady Spikers.
Canino, who has been seen involved in warm-ups but not yet played in the last five games, is expected to make a comeback in the 86th Season of the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament as DLSU takes on the Golden Tigresses at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The game will determine the second-place team and the right to play with a twice-to-beat privilege in the Final Four. UST, characterized as the “gate-crashers,” has surprised with their performance and is ready to play their role in this crucial matchup.
With the Lady Bulldogs securing the top rank, the winner of the final game of the elimination round will claim the second seed and face the loser in the semifinals. Canino’s potential return is seen as timely for DLSU, as they aim to ensure a full lineup for the critical stage of the season. UST, on the other hand, will look to repeat their first-round win over the Lady Spikers with rookie Angge Poyos showing promising form.
