UAAP Media.</figcaption></figure>MANILA — The UAAP Season 86 volleyball tournaments have been ruled by new stars so far.Standing out after the league’s first week of action were University of Sto. Tomas’ Angge Poyos and Far Eastern University&#x27;s Ariel Cacao, with both players leading their teams to unblemished records from February 17 to 25.Poyos normed 20 points in the three matches, one of which came in a 24-point outing against another super rookie in Casiey Dongallo from the University of the East. The other two wins wherein she starred for the Golden Tigresses came against the Season 85 Finalists National University and defending champions De La Salle University. Poyos even registered 22 markers in their five-setter win against the Lady Archers last night, but she said that she remains dissatisfied with her outing. “Masasabi ko na ito na talaga yung performance ko, ito na talaga yung Angge pero meron pang ibubuga sa next games,” said Poyos, who bested teammate Bernadett Pepito, La Salle’s Angel Canino, and UE’s Dongallo for the weekly recognition“Super happy lang kasi nakapag-contribute nga ako sa team and medyo nagiging consistent na ako this time and I hope sa mga susunod pa na mga games mas ilaban ko pa,” added the 5-foot-8 outside hitter. <figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1708953677687.png" alt="FEU&#x27;s Ariel Cacao.
