It was Tubu’s second 30-point game this conference, proving that her trajectory is way up after winning the Best Opposite Spiker of the Reinforced Conference.

The Adamson one-and-done star, who hit 28 of her 57 attack attempts, wanted to be more efficient and reliable to repay the trust of her coaches, teammates, and management.
