Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — University of Sto. Tomas survived a tough four-set clash against the University of the Philippines to tally its 10th win in UAAP Season 86.The Golden Tigresses defeated the Fighting Maroons, 25-14, 25-13, 28-30, 25-15, during their women&#x27;s volleyball clash on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.Jonna Perdido took charge for the España-based hitters who were without Angge Poyos and Em Banagua, putting up 23 points, eight digs, and three receptions, Reg Jurado tallied 24 markers and five digs, while Cassie Carballo pulled the strings for USTe with 19 excellent sets.Head coach Kung Fu Reyes explained during the post-game interview that they prioritized Poyos&#x27; recovery for this game, and was glad that rest of their team stepped up. &quot;Binigay namin yung mas mahalaga para sa kanya, which is yung maka-recover muna,&quot; Reyes said of their prized rookie.&quot;Nag-start siya ng Sunday, medyo under the weather, pero nag-ensayo siya. Supposedly kagabi magte-train ulit pero medyo dizzy pa yung bata. That&#x27;s why 14 kami. Pwede mag-step up yung mga ladies na katabi ko at yung nasa dugout.&quot;&quot;I think yung added responsibility, yun yung sinasabi namin na ine-embrace kasi nila. Ahead of time, medyo alam namin na yung recovery period ni Angge is hindi aabot, I think individually nakikita naman nila kasi nga for the past two training sessions namin, di na namin nakikita si Angge.&quot; &quot;I think yun ang pinaka importante, na we still have the 12 strong ladies na part ng team. That&#x27;s why team kami. Sabi nga, sumusuporta ang bawat isa, pero hindi kami umaasa sa iisang tao. That&#x27;s the beauty of it ng team na ready mag-respond whatever the task na pwede ibigay,&quot; he added.After dominating the first two frames, the Golden Tigresses saw themselves in a close encounter in the third as the two squads were tied at 28 apiece.Steph Bustrillo then converted on an off-the-block kill to distance themselves from UST by a point, and in the next play, Jewel Encarnacion&#x27;s off-speed attack finally allowed UP to steal a set from Reyes&#x27; team.The Golden Tigresses rediscovered their footing in what turned out to be the final frame, with UST eventually producing a 19-11 lead late in the set, and this proved to be enough for them to finally fend off their Diliman-based counterparts.Nina Ytang finished with 14 points and two digs for UP, Bustrillo had 10, while Irah Jaboneta and Encarnacion posted eight markers each. UST will look to continue its stellar play when it goes up against the final-four seeking Far Eastern University on Saturday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, while the 1-10 State U will also be back on the same day when they take on Adamson University.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3009720"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
