Ganun na yung nangyayari sa amin ngayon eh. Again, doon sa nilaro namin, di ako nagugulat, doon lang sa resulta.”</p><p>Circling back on his players, the trio of Regina Jurado, Ange Poyos, and Jonna Perdido were vital cogs in the Golden Tigresses’ victory, with each of them finishing in double digits, but they said that they are just filling in the void that Eya Laure and some of their other veterans that are now in the pro leagues.</p><p>“Kahit nga po maliliit kami, pinagsikapan din po talaga namin na i-exceed yung performance ng mga nawala nga na players namin,” said Jurado, who finished with 12 points, all came from attacks, while also putting up seven digs.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2964295"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script><p>Poyos, who top-scored for UST with 16 points that were built on 13 attacks and three blocks, also mirrored that statement.</p><p>“Nawala po si ate Eya, pero mas marami naman po kaming pumalit. Kahit ‘yung height po namin maliit,yung skills namin nandoon. Kumbaga solid na parang ‘yung ate Eya, napalitan ng mas marami pa.”</p><p>Perdido, who tallied 12 points as well as six receptions, then added how Laure serves as an example for them, but they are also working on how they can consistently put up their performance from last night.</p><p>“Naging motivation po namin si Ate Eya na ganito po yung laro namin and sana po consistent pa po yung igagalaw namin sa upcoming games,” she said.</p><p>For now, however, they are turning their focus on facing the UE Lady Warriors which are also featuring a promising core that is led by Caseiy Dongallo.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/2/17/ue-s-super-rookie-dongallo-downplays-historic-uaap-debut-1833">UE’s super rookie Dongallo downplays historic UAAP debut</a></div><p>“Same din sa amin na maraming rookies din sa kanila.
