National University is surely the team to beat in the UAAP Season 88 volleyball tournament, and no one is more eager to claim the scalps of the defending women's champion than De La Salle University.
Swept by the Lady Bulldogs in just two games in the finals, the Green Archers try to steal the throne in NU's post-Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon era with Shevana Laput and Angel Canino leading the charge for the Taft-based squad.
“Since last year, runner-up kami, so sa ngayon talagang target talaga ‘yung top na. Yung preparation andun naman eh, laging paghahandaan kung sino man ‘yung dadating na kalaban, kasi sa ngayon, walang madaling kalaban ngayon, lahat competitive na,” he said.
The Archers are optimistic this time with the arrival of rookie Eshana Nunag who packs potential that should complement the team.
“Actually, wala naman nagbago sa amin. Isa pa, bago na naman ‘yung setter namin, rookie. So, eto na naman. Hopefully, maging maganda yung performance.”
La Salle will open its bid against Far Eastern University on Sunday, Feb. 15, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
