UST PORTAL: Ma. Angeli Tabaquiero The Return of the Comeback

I watched a game between DLSU and UST in youtube yesterday. I cant remember really what's the date of the match.

I saw Angeli Tabaquiero smashing those spikes and the crowd kept on roaring, I mean the UST fans of course. Even De La Salle won that match (ouch! Michelle Datuin, i'll miss you...)

Well, i'm not really a Tigresses fanatic but I do like them. And I was so excited when I heard, I mean I read in the internet that Miss Tabaquiero, (ehem! I love her smile actually) will be seeing action in the UAAP. I hope DLSU-UST rivalry will rekindle once more.

One more pepz... Does it suits her to be called "Miss Turbulence"? Haha.

"Captain Ice"



Silent but deadly!

Venus Bernal is gone and it's over for UST.

Wait... Think again!

Aiza Maizo is out to prove you all wrong. She maybe underrated as what some folks would describe her presence but you should know that this gal is just a silent operator. She has once made the top lists of the best scorers and best blockers in the UAAP Volleyball tournament.

Maizo is a southpaw. So better be ready to defend because a southpaw can be a deadly threat. She can bury you down when she winds up for a kill. This hard hitting captain has so much to offer- and you haven't seen more yet.

Brick by brick she's building the empire of University of Sto. Tomas Tigresses that whoever will try to blight, better have a second thought. Just like a timed bomb- she can explode when you least expect.

Roar Captain, roar!
