Looking forward na ma-cover naming &#x27;yung mga flaws naming, &#x27;yung mga kulang naming. And at the same time, maging solido pa &#x27;yung galawan ng team,&quot; said head coach Jose Roque.&quot;Somehow nagko-comply &#x27;yung team; somehow focused sila. Maybe because of how we prepared na we&#x27;re doing alright talaga, na sabihin nating may direksyon. &#x27;Yung challenge is itong next three games,&quot; he added.The Green Spikers will begin that final stretch of eliminations against University of Santo Tomas (3-1) on Tuesday at noon.Letran showed signs of life by countering De La Salle&#x27;s offense with their own firepower, but their 29 unforced errors ultimately cost them, leaving the Knights with a 1-3 win-loss record.Chester Amborsio gave Letran the lead midway through the fourth set, but Ousseini and the Green Spikers responded decisively. Amborsio finished with 15 points to lead Letran, while Bembem Bautista and Dave Lardizabal added 10 and nine markers, respectively.The Knights will seek their second win when they face National University (2-2) in Tuesday’s opening game at 10 a.m.
