REFUSING to wilt under pressure, Tigress Irene Cahilig showed her end-game savvy as she carried UST Team Galaxy over Team Hypnotize, 9-7, in the Adidas Streetball 3-on-3 finals last June 24 at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

Slowly earning a reputation as a solid clutch performer, Cahilig sank two pressure-packed free throws in the final 30 seconds to clinch the game and the National Capital Region (NCR) leg crown for UST Team Galaxy.

SEVERAL months before the UAAP baseball hostilities will resume, the UST Golden Sox have the daunting task of polishing their competitive edge despite the absence of tough adversaries.

Newly-appointed UST baseball team head coach Jeffrey Santiago hopes to remedy this dilemma as the Sox keep their wares in check for the 12th Philippine Amateur Baseball Association (PABA) Presidential Cup.

?Kailangan ma-expose ang mga bata sa laro,? said the former UST softball head coach.

TOTAL domination!

The UST Lady jins were not slowed down by the absence of their head coach and core players as they seized four of five gold medals staked in the 2001 Milo All-Women?s Taekwondo Championships last June 24 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Tiger jins mentor Dindo Simpao, RP team mainstays Daleen Cordero and Kalindi Tamayo, and Tigress sophomore Richelle de Rueda missed the competition since they were set to carry the colors of the nation in the Korean Open which started last June 25 and lasts up to July 7.

UST TAEKWONDO sensation Tshomlee Go added another accolade to his illustrious career when he won the silver medal in the recently concluded World Cup Taekwondo 2001 championships in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Carrying the national colors as part of the Petron Philippine team, Go, a 20-year old UST Education sophomore, demolished his hapless foes before bowing to the assault of a more experienced Korean rival in the flyweight finals of the world?s most prestigious taekwondo competition.
