AT A GLANCE
Justine Jazaro has decided to leave De La Salle to turn pro with Premier Volleyball League's (PVL) Akari, the team announced on social media on Thursday night, Sept. 21.
Justine Jazareno has decided to leave De La Salle to turn pro with Premier Volleyball League's (PVL) Akari, the team announced on social media on Thursday night, Sept. 21.
The libero is set to join her former Lady Spiker middle blocker teammate Fifi Sharma in the Chargers’ rotation in the season-ending All-Filipino Conference in mid October.
Jazareno, who was part of the La Salle squad which won the UAAP Season 85 championship title, still had two more years of eligibility left.
Like Sharma, who decided to forgo three years of eligibility, Jazareno is likely to have significant playing opportunity with the Chargers as former liberos Dani Ravena and Rachel Jorvina were moved to Akari’s expansion team newcomer NXLed.
The 23-year-old Jazareno will take turns with the Chargers’ starting lineup libero Bang Pineda.
With Jazareno’s move, the Lady Spikers’ defense title campaign just took another blow with the previous departure of senior players Jolina dela Cruz and Finals MVP ace setter Mars Alba.
