Lady Bulldogs spoil EJ Laure's return, stun Tigresses
MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:05 p.m.) – The NU Lady Bulldogs eked out a come-from-behind win over the UST Golden Tigresses, 22-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-20, 15-13, in the UAAP Season 82 women's volleyball tournament on Wednesday.

Mutshima scored a game-high 23 points while Lacsina chipped in with 19, including a game-winning spike in the fifth set.
The Laure sisters led UST in the losing effort. Reigning rookie of the year Eya had 20 while EJ tallied 17.
Rookie Imee Hernandez chipped in with 18 points.
