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[edit]
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[edit]
Tubu played in the Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA), a regional sports meet for elementary and high school, and Palarong Pambansa.[8]
Collegiate[edit]
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]
