FIVE PROSPECTS from UST’s girls’ volleyball program have opted to remain at the University and join the Golden Tigresses for UAAP Season 87.
Among them is six-foot middle blocker Margaret Altea, the Junior Golden Tigresses team captain who steered UST to a bronze-medal finish in Season 86.
A one-time second-best middle blocker in the juniors division of the UAAP, Altea will provide a much-needed boost to the Tigresses’ frontline.
Outside hitter Bien Arasan was the first Junior Golden Tigress to commit to UST’s women’s volleyball program.
Ysa Chua, an opposite hitter originally from Bacolod City who transferred to UST for senior high school, has also chosen to continue playing for UST.
Alongside Arasan and Chua, Abi Sinson, who can play both the opposite hitter and outside hitter positions, will complement the Tigresses’ deep roster of talented spikers from Season 87 onwards.
The team’s libero pool will also be bolstered by Sandrine Escober, completing the group of five Junior Golden Tigresses who have decided to continue their volleyball careers at UST.
The Tigresses have also secured the commitment of middle blocker Francine Osis, who formerly played for the NU Lady Bulldogs.
