They were coming off a heartbreaking five-set loss to National University last Sunday, wherein La Salle squandered a 12-8 lead in the deciding frame.&quot;Well, yung result importante &#x27;yun eh. Pero yung performance, hindi ako satisfied sa performance today,&quot; de Jesus told reporters after their triumph on Wednesday.The Lady Spikers were expected to steamroll the Lady Warriors, a team that has won only two games in the past four seasons. Yet UE stayed competitive, even reaching the 20-point mark in the third set before Desiree Cheng put the match away with back-to-back kills.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2018/02/21/uaap-volleyball-dlsu-dominates-ue-back-win-column-37974">READ: DLSU dominates UE, back in win column</a></li></ul>It was clear to de Jesus that the Lady Spikers were not playing the way they should have been, especially after such a disappointing loss.&quot;Hindi mo makita &#x27;yung aggressiveness inside the court, and &#x27;yung communication inside the court, so, &#x27;yung polish hindi mo makita. So &#x27;yun &#x27;yung medyo disappointed ako,&quot; said the multi-titled mentor.De Jesus did not immediately address reporters after the game, as is usual for the winning coach. Instead, he addressed his players in the dugout, drilling into them the importance of having a killer instinct.&quot;Alam mo nang patapos na, tapon pa ng serve,&quot; he said. &quot;Parang very complacent, dahil lamang ng malayo. Hindi dapat mangyari &#x27;yun.&quot;&quot;And then &#x27;yung character inside the court, na alam mo naman na kaya mo &#x27;yung kalaban mo, huwag mo nang bigyan ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng kumpyansa. So &#x27;yun &#x27;yung ni-remind ko sa kanila,&quot; he stressed.At the end of the day, however, a win is still a win, and de Jesus now turns his focus to their next assignment – the Adamson University Lady Falcons.De Jesus considers the Lady Falcons a dangerous opponent, even though they have lost back-to-back games. He is hopeful that the Lady Spikers won&#x27;t display the same complacency that they did against UE on Saturday when they take on Adamson.&quot;Hindi pwedeng basta-bastahin lang,&quot; de Jesus said of the Lady Falcons. &quot;Pag ito confident na at nakuha nila &#x27;yung sinasabi kong momentum, mahirap biruin kasi alam natin na kumpleto &#x27;yung tao.&quot;(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.)
