The Tigresses swept their elimination games in 1988, 1993 and 1996 and were declared automatic champions in each of those years. They also have the third most Final Four appearances with 13, behind La Salle’s 18 and the FEU Lady Tamaraws’ 15. UST has successfully qualified to the Final Four for nine straight years from 2003 until 2012.[3][4][5][6][7]
The Tigresses also have six Premier Volleyball League championships, with the distinction of being the inaugural winners in 2004 when the tournament was still known as the Shakey’s V-League. They hold the same number of six championships in the UNIGAMES, with back-to-back wins in 2009 and 2010, and then capped by a three-peat from 2016 until 2018.[8][9]
The Tigresses who used to be called the Lady Goldies won their first championship in 1974. Even as the men’s volleyball team existed during their time in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the 1920s, the women’s team was only formed in the same year of the sports’ inception in the UAAP in 1938. The 1974 title was the first of three consecutive championships won until 1976. They next achieved an unprecedented seven-year title run from 1984 until 1990 under then coach August Sta. Maria.[10][11][12]

The Tigresses who had changed their name from the Lady Goldies at the start of the season repeated over FEU to sweep the best-of-three series in another three-set game to reclaim the championship that was won by the Lady Tamaraws the previous year. It was the team’s blocking and serves that carried them to the win. Maria Luisa Mejia served three straight aces in the second set, while Lim, Mila Rañada, Ana May Calma, and Mylene Cuenca put up a stonewall defense to shut out their opponents, 15–2 in the third set to put the game away in only 50 minutes.[22]

1995
UST went undefeated in the first round of eliminations after winning over rival FEU in a five-set game to tally a 7–0 record.

1999, 2000
The Tigresses lost in the Finals to first-time champions La Salle. The Lady Spikers repeated their conquest of UST the following year when they won their Final Four match.[32][33]
2001
They began their season with two losses in their first three games. After losing to La Salle, they bounced back with a three-set win over the Ateneo Lady Eagles, only to lose again to FEU in their next game. The Lady Tamaraws capitalized on crucial errors by Joyce Calapan and Kate Co Yu Kang in putting away the Tigresses in straight sets.[34]
They next racked up five straight wins, including one over La Salle in the second round before being halted by the undefeated Lady Tamaraws for a 6–3 record. The Tigresses were able to mount another five-game winning run for a tie at second place in the standings, but their Final Four hopes went down the drain when FEU completed a 14–0 season sweep and were declared automatic champions. The Tigresses had one game remaining for the season against the UE Amazons, who they vented their ire on for a three-set win. Joyce Pano, Jocelyn Capati, and Meann Calapan led the team to a 25–18 third set win. They shared the same 11–3 record with La Salle but had to settle for third place in rank due to an inferior quotient.[32]
The Tigresses earlier lost to the Lady Spikers in the National Intercollegiate Tournament Finals in the preseason. UST rallied to prevent a three-set sweep by La Salle and were looking to win in the fourth set. The score was tied at 21–all, but a non-call by the referees on a four-touch violation by their opponents changed the game’s complexion. Down 22–23, the Tigresses scored a point, but quickly committed a service error to yield match point to La Salle. A net violation by UST in the ensuing play ended the championship match at 23–25.[35]
2002
After an opening day loss to reigning titlists FEU in four sets, UST won their next six games to close out the first round with a 6–1 record.

After their four-set victory over the Ateneo Lady Eagles, the Tigresses ranked second in the standings with an 11–2 record going into their last game of eliminations. UST needed the win against the league-leading Lady Tamaraws who were undefeated at 13–0 in order to prevent another season sweep and an automatic championship by their upcoming opponent.[36]
The Tigresses put up a tough stand in their four-set loss, with the last set extending to 24–26. In the end, FEU retained their championship and have remained unbeaten in the UAAP in two seasons.[37]

The Lady Spikers actually had the same 7–1 card, but were ranked lower in quotient. They qualified to the Finals after defeating the Lyceum Lady Pirates by a two-game sweep of their best-of-three semifinal series.[45][46][47]

The Tigresses began their UAAP season with a five-set win over La Salle, ending a three-year losing streak to the Lady Spikers. UST won the first two sets but fell into danger of an upset after La Salle won the next two to force a deciding fifth set. Judy Caballejo, who topscored with 22 points bailed the team after her quick attack put the Tigresses ahead, 15–9 to end the match. They finished the first round of eliminations tied with Adamson and NU at third place with a 4–3 record.[111][112]
UST wound up the eliminations tied with NU at fourth place with an 8–6 record following straight-set losses to Ateneo. They lost to the Lady Bulldogs in the playoff game for the fourth Final Four slot in four sets. The Tigresses failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time in ten years.[113][114][115]
The Tigresses rejoined the Shakey’s V-League after skipping the past two conferences. They enlisted Thai national team player Utaiwan Kaensing as their middle blocker to reinforce Balse and Ortiz. They won all four of their elimination round games for a tie with the Ateneo Lady Eagles at 4–0 going into the crossover quarterfinal games. The Tigresses won three of the total four games, losing only to the Lady Eagles in four sets to end up as the #2 seed in the semifinal round. UST won the first set with a lopsided 25–7 score, but struggled in the next three sets, causing them to lose the match. Maru Banaticla committed a service error late in the fourth set which allowed Ateneo to pull ahead at 22–17. In the Final Four, the San Sebastian Lady Stags evened their best-of-three series after a five-set win with their Thai guest player Jeng Bualee scoring a record-setting 40 points. UST successfully eliminated San Sebastian in the deciding Game Three in straight sets behind the heroics of Judy Caballejo.[116][117][118][119]
The Tigresses lost to Ateneo in Game Three of their Finals series. After winning Game One in four sets, their opponents came back strong with a four-set win of their own to even the best-of-three series at one win apiece. The deciding Game Three lasted until the fifth set after UST, down 0–2 in sets rallied to win sets 3 and 4. With an injured Jean Balse playing sparingly, the Lady Eagles raced to a 20–10 lead in the first set before the Tigresses’ attempt for a comeback. They were only able to come to within 19–24 until the set point which was won by Ateneo’s Dzi Gervacio on a quick hit off libero Dancel Dusaran’s failed dig. Coach Odjie Mamon sent in Carmela Tunay and Pam Lastimosa to replace Balse and Maru Banaticla at the start of the fourth set. Loren Lantin also substituted for team captain Rhea Dimaculangan as the team’s setter and did wonders as UST reached set point at 24–17. After starting the fifth set with a 4–1 lead, they fell behind, 7–12. The Eagles’ Jem Ferrer and Suzanne Roces blocked a quick hit from Utaiwan as the Tigresses’ comeback was halted at 11–13. An attack by Caballejo and a kill block on Ateneo’s Alyssa Valdez tied the score at 13–all for the Tigresses. Cabellejo’s spike went out of bounds in the next play, sending their opponents to match point, and then a joust at the net was won by Roces who sent the ball to UST’s side with an uncontested spike to end the match at 15–13 in the fifth set. Maika Ortiz led UST with 18 points with Utaiwan, named Best Spiker of the tournament and Caballejo as the Best Server adding 16 and 17 points respectively.[120][121]
The UST Golden Tigresses and the FEU Lady Tamaraws met in the finals for a total of 13 seasons, with UST winning 11 times.[122]
The rivalry between the De La Salle Lady Spikers and the Tigresses has also been apparent in women's volleyball with the two teams being frequent finalists in the UAAP Volleyball Championships, the UNIGAMES and the Shakey's V-League. The two teams met four times in the UAAP finals, with La Salle winning three. They also faced each other thrice in the finals of the Shakey's V-League, with UST winning the first and the Lady Spikers winning the latter two.
