Actually, ‘di kasi talaga namin tinitignan yung rankings, Ang focus namin is yung sana maging mas consistent pa po kami and mas pagkatiwalaan pa namin yung sistema na meron yung UST.The Tigresses faced a 10-4 start in the first frame, but they zoomed to a 21-10 spurt as the set ended to build their momentum en route to finishing the sweep. What helped UST do this was their 46-33 advantage on attack points and 11-2 on aces, as well as their impressive floor defense which Pepito anchored, 23-15 on digs.On the other hand, the Blue Eagles were dealt with the early exit of Sobe Buena due to an apparent leg injury during the 21-15 mark of the first set.They were already competing sans Zel Tsunashima and Jlo Delos Santos who are dealing with their respective injuries.Buena exited the arena with a knee brace while also being supported by crutches.AC Miner and Lyann de Guzman held the fort for the short-staffed Ateneo squad by putting up 13 and 11, respectively, but these went for naught as they fell to 1-4 in the team standings. <div>RELATED VIDEO:</div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABVRsZwnEMqjGde6"></script></div>
