UAAP Media</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines -- University of Santo Tomas (UST) star Eya Laure said the Golden Tigresses cannot be too torn up about their five-set defeat to National University (NU) at the start of their campaign in the UAAP Season 82 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament. The Tigresses, the runners-up from last season,<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/03/04/20/uaap-nu-overcomes-ust-in-5-set-marathon"> twice squandered a one-set lead</a> as the Lady Bulldogs eventually hacked out a 22-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-20, 15-13 victory. Laure, the reigning Rookie of the Year, had 20 points in the loss.Nevertheless, Laure said they cannot dwell on the loss.&quot;Hindi namin tine-take as negative itong nangyari. Siguro mas okay na mas nangyari &#x27;to nang maaga kesa mangyari ito sa huli, which is mas malaking factor,&quot; she said.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2020/03/04/uaap-season-82-nu-ekes-five-set-upset-ust-66696">READ: NU ekes out five-set upset over UST</a></li></ul>What makes Laure optimistic is the fight that they showed in the fifth set. Brimming with confidence, NU had surged to a 6-1 lead in the deciding frame, but the Tigresses worked their way back and eventually made it a one-point affair before a clutch hit by Ivy Lacsina secured the win for the Lady Bulldogs.&quot;Lumaban pa din naman,&quot; Laure said. &quot;Kumbaga, hindi ko tine-take na negative &#x27;tong pagkatalo kasi five sets, tapos dikit. Kumbaga, lumaban pa din.&quot;&quot;Wala pa rin namang down doon. Lumaban pa din naman. Buti sana kung sobrang layo noong fifth set, and nakita niyo na tinitignan na lang namin yung bola. Hindi eh, 15-13,&quot; she pointed out.&quot;So sabi ko, siguro kinapos man ngayon, pero mag-i-improve pa din pagdating sa training.&quot;The improvement, she said, begins with herself. The sophomore star believes she did fine in their first game, but has plenty of room to grow after converting just 19 of her 49 attempts and committing plenty of attach errors.&quot;Andoon pa rin &#x27;yung factor na alam ko &#x27;yung ginagawa ko, marami akong error, marami akong pagkukulang pa. Kahit nagawa ko &#x27;yun, hindi pa din ako kuntento,&quot; said Laure. &quot;Alam kong madami pa akong dapat asikasuhin sa sarili ko.&quot;UST returns to action on Sunday in a rivalry showdown with Far Eastern University.<div>(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>).</div>
