Today, February 27, 2010, is the much awaited day for UAAP volleyball fans, players and coaches. Maybe today will be the end of the season 72. Games are between TIGERS (UST) and TAMARRAWS (FEU) for MEN'S VOLLEYBALL DIVISION.....
VS.
and between LADY TIGRESSES (UST) and LADY SPIKERS (DLSU) for WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL DIVISION.
VS.
I really appreciate the way UAAP officials opened the game today and gave acknowledgement to every teams and to the "BEST PLAYERS" of every team. They also gave some sort of flashback of the past games of every teams.
Game 1 is for MEN'S DIVISION. Actually, I was a fan of UNIVERSITY OF STO. TOMAS so i cheered for them. Game started. I was actually nervous during the game. The rallies, the spikes, blocks, digs, and the serves are just so awesome! I really like the way JP TORRES, RAY KARL DIMACULANGAN, JULIUS SIOSON, JASON RAMOS, and HARBY ILANO played and execute their game and positions today.
University Of Sto. Tomas Tigers got the CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD and JP Torres was the PLAYER OF THE GAME. congrats!
Dimaculangan & Ramos from USTe.

Woah! This is the time for Game 2. The game of LADY TIGRESSES and LADY SPIKERS!!! nerves! The moment of truth. Even though we really don't know if Lady Tigresses will continue to win, dominate the Lady Spikers the 3rd time around, and be the CAMPEONE for this season 72 or will the Lady Spikers will be able to stretch the Championship Match to Game 3, I really started to scream like USTWVT had won and bring the CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE to the Espana Avenue again.
VS USTWVT
Before the game starts, I really prayed for USTe so that they will get the Championship Award. I really expected AIZA MAIZO, MAIKA ANGELA ORTIZ, ALEONA DENISE SANTIAGO, MARUJA BANATICLA, RHEA KATRINA DIMACULANGAN and especially MA. ANGELI TABAQUERO to play well and so they did.
Maru Banaticla... # 9
Aleona Denise Santiago... # 16
Rhea Katrina Dimaculangan... # 1
Maika Ortiz... # 10
Aiza Maizo... # 8... KAPITANA!
MA. ANGELI TABAQUERO... #2.. Princess Spiker!!!
My favorite player is MS. ANGELI TABAQUERO of University of Sto. Tomas Lady Tigresses. She was adorable, a remarkable player for USTe, a great veteran, a very approachable idol, a very good athlete, she always had that "ANGELIC" face and that "KILLER SWEET SMILE" on her face, and she is the"PAMEWANG QUEEN" of the league and the "PRINCESS SPIKER". I knew everybody knew her very well. I really love her smile and the way she approach the ball every time she spikes.
sweet smile. XD
singer din! ahaha!
ANGELIc face
Pamewang Queen. :D

Princess Spiker. XD
Approachable Idol
daming gifts! daming fans. ~credits to ARIEL ENCINARES and ANGELITES~
In set one, long rallies, as expected, was shown by both teams. I noticed that Ms. Angeli Tabaquero is not feeling well but I had a little doubt because she really played well during the Set 1 and even in Set 2. I also noticed that after that long rally happened in set 1, Ange Tabaquero was hardly catching her breathe, dont know why. I really dont know at that time that Ange was sick and she had a fever at that time. But, even though Ange was not feeling well she did what she usually does and she also contribute in scoring for the team. Tigresses had a hard time during Set 3. Dela Salle Lady Spikers got Set 3 and they were able to stretched the game to set 4. But, Lady Tigresses gave their best and took the match point easily. DLSU Lady Spikers weren't able to stretched the game to set 5 because UST Lady Tigresses came back with a great confidence, high morale, and well mind set after they lost one set to DLSU. During Set 4, Ange was able to had her usual game, her smiles, her attacks, and her fighting spirit. A facial attack was happened during this set. Ange didn't mean to do that facial attack to Joanne Siy of DLSU LADY SPIKERS. Siy wasn't able to dig the ball properly. The ball went straight to her face after the veteran, Ange Tabaquero was given a set by Rhea Dimaculangan and deliver the ball to the DLSU's side. I know it hurts. UST's fans goes wild every time Tigresses make a move and scores as well. I really appreciate those banners. haha! so cute!
ahah! so cute!
USTWVT's FANs goes WILD!
UST Tigresses won the game and took the Championship Title. And the sick, MA. ANGELI TABAQUERO was the PLAYER OF THE GAME. What an athlete she is! So happy for her yet so sad because this is her last year of playing in UAAP. congrats! Even though its her last year of playing in UAAP we'll gonna see her play in SHAKEY'S V-LEAGUE this coming summer but only in 1st Conference of Season 7. Its ok instead of not seeing her, right? XD. Goodluck TIGRESSES!!! XD
