UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas spiker Mela Tunay will be out for a month with a fractured nose sustained in a collision with teammate Pam Lastimosa in Sunday’s V-League match against Technological Institute of the Philippines.
The fifth-year player is set to undergo surgery on Tuesday and will be sidelined for a month, which could mean the end of her stint in the Collegiate Conference of the pioneering league.
