Photo from UAAP Media. </div>MANILA (UPDATED) — University of Santo Tomas recovered from a hiccup in the third set against University of the Philippines to post its fourth straight win in UAAP women&#x27;s volleyball.The Golden Tigresses overcame the Fighting Maroons, 25-11, 25-22, 23-25, 25-12, during their Season 87 clash on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.This is the fourth straight victory of the España-based squad after a setback in their season-opener, and they are now 4-1 in the tournament.After UST&#x27;s late Set 3 attempt to close in on their Diliman-based counterparts and sweep them was spoiled, the Tigresses zoomed to a 17-5 charge in the fourth to impose their might.&quot;Regarding sa third set, talagang yung mga errors sobrang dami. Sumabay kasi yung players namin sa pace ng UP, may sariling tempo dapat tayo,&quot; commented UST deputy Yani Fernandez after the contest. One who helped UST bounce back from their 23 errors which factored in the third set was Reg Jurado who posted 22 points with eight digs and three receptions, but it was her veteran presence that helped the Tigresses regain their composure.&quot;Ni-remind ko lang po sila na maging calm lang. &#x27;Pag sinasabayan namin yung kalaban, doon kami nagkakagulo, so good thing na-apply namin yung nung fourth,&quot; said Jurado, before Fernandez vouched for her player&#x27;s sentiments. &quot;Sabi nga ni Coach Kungfu [Reyes], ang kagandahan nung third set is kayang habulin,&quot; he said. &quot;So nung fourth, sinabi namin na hindi na pwede yung ganito. Kailangan reset na kami, so ganun yung naging resulta nung fourth set.&quot;The España-based spikers then continued with their onslaught as the game reached its end as they put up a 19-6 cushion, and this was all they needed to hand State U to its third consecutive loss after opening the year with a promising 2-0 record. UP rookie Kianne Olango contributed 18 points for her school, while providing help were Joan Monares and Irah Jaboneta who had 13 and eight, respectively.The Fighting Maroons played without star middle blocker Nina Ytang in the game.<script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABVCfMZmgJw69AP7"></script>
