The University of Santo Tomas Junior Golden Tigresses showcased their serving prowess over the UPIntegrated School Junior Fighting Maroons in a commanding straight-set victory, 25-7, 25-7, 25-18 on Wednesday Oct. 2 at the Paco Arena.

Kim Rubin powered the Junior Golden Tigresses' in their dominant win with 11 points, including 7 service aces, while playmaker Aneeza Santos tallied 11 excellent sets.

“Considering na bago mag-start yung training, start kami sa service. And then, after, bago matapos yung training din namin, nage-end up din kami sa service. So talagang ensayado naman yan. Hopefully, maging consistent siya this past remaining games namin,” said UST coach Yani Fernandez.

Santos' one-two play sparked UST's 11-0 run in the opening frame, the set ended with a net violation from the Katipunan-based squad.

Rubin showered the Junior Fighting Maroons with heavy serves that dismantled UPIS’ floor defense, 18-1.

Junior Golden Tigresses' second setter Jezrel Silvestre closed the second salvo with another service ace.

UST’s second stringers faced a daunting task in the third after errors plagued their game until a seven-point run courtesy of Ryzel Laag put the España-based squad at match point, and delivered the killing blow from the middle, 25-17

Junior Fighting Maroons’ team captain and opposite hitter Janella Guarino led UPIS with four points from three attacks and one service ace.
