Eya Laure is a rookie but with a mentality of a grizzled veteran.
Her scoring prowess, grit and big fighting heart have helped Tigresses string their first back-to-back victories in the UAAP season 81 women’s volleyball tournament.
Laure averaged 17.5 points per game and delivered the intangibles in the Espana-based squad’s conquest of three-time defending champion De La Salle University and National University to claim the Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Press Corps UAAP Player of the Week honors.
Coming off a stinging defeat that saw UST lose Fil-Am sophomore hitter Milena Alessandrini to a harrowing left knee injury, UST came back to action this week using that as rallying point with Laure leading the charge.
