UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- University of the East put a stop to National University-Nazareth School&#x27;s unbeaten campaign in the UAAP Season 88 boys&#x27; volleyball tournament on Sunday.The Junior Warriors handed the Bullpups their first loss in emphatic fashion, scoring a 25-23, 25-18, 25-22 sweep at the Paco Arena in Manila.The result gave UE a 6-2 win-loss record, tying Far Eastern University-Diliman for second place.The Bullpups now stand at 7-1, still good for the top spot in the league standings.&quot;Malaking factor ito [win over NUNS] para sa mga players, lalo na sa mga seniors namin. Yung first round [match] kasi namin with NU, same scenario, nakuha namin yung first two sets, pero nag-short kami sa third, fourth, at fifth set,&quot; said UE head coach Herbert Dizon on their second-round opener.In their first-round encounter last September 30, the Bullpups pulled off a reverse sweep over the Junior Warriors, 20-25, 23-25, 25-20, 25-22, 15-8.&quot;We tried our best to focus doon sa defense and blocking, tapos sa opensa naman, medyo continuous lang yung practice namin,&quot; Dizon added.In the first two sets of Sunday&#x27;s match, NUNS initially surged ahead by a few points, but UE kept its composure and rallied midway through, relying on powerful attacks and a steady floor defense to take a 2–0 lead.&quot;Dapat hindi nauuna yung kalaban kasi meron silang tendency na ‘pag nauuna yung kalaban, medyo nagiging slow yung isip nila, parang bumababa ang moral nila. Sabi ko, ‘always try to make it a point na ahead tayo. Makuhanan man tayo ng additional point, konti lang, pero still dapat ahead tayo,&#x27;&quot; said Dizon.In the final set, NUNS briefly took the lead before UE tied it at 6-all following a service ace by Kenzie Caro.Paul Roque then delivered a down-the-line kill that helped the Junior Warriors surge ahead, 21-16.The Bullpups tried to rally late to preserve their unbeaten streak, cutting the deficit to 23-21, but crucial errors derailed their comeback. A miscommunication on NU&#x27;s side sealed the victory for the Junior Warriors.Roque earned Player of the Game honors after leading UE with 20 points built on 19 attacks and an ace. Middle blockers Miguel Catanghal and Clarence Gianan added nine points each to cap off the upset win.On the other side, Elmerson Lejano led the Bullpups with 11 points, 10 of which came from attacks, while Ronnie Millan contributed nine markers in the losing effort.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761551289635UAAP S88 BOYS VOLLEYBALL - UST vs ADMU - UST GRP.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The University of Santo Tomas boys&#x27; volleyball team in UAAP Season 88.

He was supported by Ian Dayao, who tallied nine points built on five attacks, three service aces, and a block.For UPIS -- which dropped to 1-7, Justine Jusayan and Prince Jimenez each scored eight points, as no Junior Maroon reached double digits.In the closing match for the gameday, De La Salle Zobel took down Ateneo de Manila University in straight sets, 25-17, 25-21, 25-15.The Junior Green Spikers improved to 3-5 with their 11-man roster, while the Blue Eagles remained winless at 0-8.Andrei Montillano led DLSZ with 14 points—11 from spikes, two blocks, and one ace—while Kyle Aure added nine.Ethan Rivera paced Ateneo with seven points, all from attacks, followed by Ymanuel Cervantes with six.
