[Title] => Defense key to Tigresses bid in finale
[Summary] => Down 0-1 in a short best-of-three playoff for the Shakey’s V-League crown, UST needs to work on one aspect of the game if it wants to send the series to a deciding match.
"We’ll have to really work on our reception and we also have to make adjustments in our blocking," said UST coach August Sta. Maria, after his Tigresses bowed to the La Salle Lady Archers, 21-25, 25-18, 19-25, 25-27, in the series’ opener Monday.
"If we can do these things, we’ll have a chance to force Game Three and possibly win," he added.

[Title] => Tigresses train sights on finals berth against dangerous Lady Archers
[Summary] => Streaking University of Santo Tomas zeroes in on the first finals berth as it takes on La Salle today in what could well serve as a preview of the championship in the 2005 Shakey’s V-League first conference at the Rizal Coliseum.
Peaking up at the right time, the Tigresses, who scrambled their way in the elims to advance, eye a sweep of the first round of the double-round semis phase and hope to go into a week-long break with at least a one-game lead over their nearest rivals.

[Title] => In-form Tigresses trim Lady Pirates
[Summary] => Defending champion University of Santo Tomas flashed its true form with an impressive 25-16, 25-19, 25-17 victory over Lyceum yesterday to get back on track in the 2005 Shakey’s V-League first conference at the Lyceum Gym.
A week after sputtering against the San Sebastian Lady Stags in a 25-10, 21-25, 22-25, 14-25 loss, the Tigresses were on attack mode this time as they easily disposed of the Lady Pirates to clinch a first win in two outings in a match that lasted just an hour.

[Title] => UST, La Salle start best-of-3 title showdown
[Summary] => With both teams boasting of talented, dynamic spikers, emphasis will be on defense when University of Santo Tomas and De La Salle open their best-of-three showdown for the Shakey’s V-League crown today at the Lyceum gym.
"More than anything else, we really need to play good defense to win this series — meaning, we have to receive well and block well," said UST coach August Sta. Maria, whose wards finished only third in last year’s UAAP volley wars behind Far Eastern University and eventual champion La Salle.

[Title] => UST belles disarm Lyceum Pirates
[Summary] => Santo Tomas imposed its will and strength on the net as it struggled without its top receiver, repulsing a hard-fighting Lyceum side, 25-20, 20-25, 25-19, 21-25, 15-6, last night and taking a step closer to a championship stint in the Shakey’s V-League at the Lyceum gym.
Joyce Paño and Venus Bernal unleashed the power kills and the Tigresses pounced on an erratic Lady Pirates in the deciding set to pound out the thrilling victory that took two hours and 13 minutes to finish.

[Title] => UST belles buck Tams challenge
[Summary] => Dragged into a see-sawing contest in the first three sets, University of Santo Tomas poured on the heat in the fourth and dashed whatever hopes Far Eastern U had for an upset as it romped away with a 26-24, 25-27, 25-22, 25-8, victory to stretch its unbeaten run to six in the Shakey’s V-League at the Lyceum Gym yesterday.
Mary Jean Balse shrugged off a sluggish start, along with her teammates, and dominated the fourth set with a kind of game expected of them as the Tigresses cut the Lady Tams down to size with their kills and stonewall defense for the victory.
