Trisha Gayle Tubu (born October 24, 2000) is a Filipino volleyball player who currently plays for the Adamson Lady Falcons.[1][2]
She was a member of the Baby Falcons of Adamson University which made its maiden UAAP Girls’ Volleyball championship appearance in 2019.[3] She was hailed Best Opposite Hitter in the 2022 V-League Collegiate Challenge.[4] The social media noise about her femaleness made her stellar plays widely known.[5][6]
Personal life
Tubu was raised in Concepcion, Tarlac where her family and friends have been with her in her young career.[7]
She is currently taking a degree in Information Technology in Adamson University.
Career
Tubu played in the Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA), a regional sports meet for elementary and high school, and Palarong Pambansa.[8]
Collegiate
Tubu's powerful left spikes were noticed early in college. Adamson's contender status in Season 85 of the UAAP is due to her performance offensively and defensively despite her rookie year.[9]
De La Salle University was the first team to enter the Final Four of Season 85, followed by the Tubu-led Adamson whose last semis appearance was in 2014.[10]
In June 2023, Trisha decided to turn pro by joining the Farm Fresh Foxies during the PVL invitational conference to support her ailing father.[11]
