Eya Laure steps up as UST bests Adamson in five setsMANILA, Philippines -- UST rookie Eya Laure didn't waste any time in shaking off rookie jitters in the Tigresses' five-set thriller against the Adamson Lady Falcons, 25-21, 25-21, 24-26, 24-26, 15-6, in their UAAP Season 81 opener at the Mall of Asia Arena, Sunday. Explosive attacks from Laure and teammates Milena Alessandrini and Sisi Rondina paved the way for a dominant UST squad in the first two sets. With a dominant 2-0 lead, UST looked poise to sweep the Lady Falcons, leading Adamson 16-13 in the third set. Despite winning the last two sets of the match, it looked like Adamson had run out of steam come the fifth set. The Lady Falcons weren't able to recover from the bad start and faltered against UST to give them the set and the match.
