They only missed 5 finals??? 👀 jesus that is an amazing feat. CRDJ indeed is the standard of Philippine Collegiate Volleyball in the women’s division and arguably the best head coach in the country regardless of division.
Jolina and Justine’s defense at the back was stellar. Leila Cruz delivered an impeccable game even at defense. Thea and Fifi continues to prove they are the best MBs in the league. But Mars Alba really made every La Salle spiker shine! Best game to date.

I mean Fifi leaving DLSU-LS is a blow to a very strong lineup. She has talent & you cannot deny that. However, let’s not panic as Leila might come back next season & she’s a natural MB. Plus younger players are coming in, so let’s not fraught. We wish you all the best Fifi! 🏹

Since patola ako today. Gawin natin tong statistics. 1938 UST joined UAAP, comparatively La Salle joined later in 1986. UST won 16 golds since and LS won 12. It means that in every 5 years UST won at least one gold but La Salle has won at least 1 gold every 3. So sino lamang?

I’m not a fan of the Tulfo’s but him shutting down this “chief” didn’t feel performative. This officer needs to be retrained.
ALSO, HINDI NAMAN MAGANDA KATAWAN NUNG LALAKI? The fact that this officer unapologetically said “kasi Awra is gay.” means this cops are simply ignorant
SEN. TULFO: “Bakit po magiging agresibo si Awra sa isang lalaki…bakit niya gagawin ‘yun?”

“Heavy is the head who wears the crown.” Alleiah, in S84—you showed WHAT a LS is made of. The challenges you’ve faced after that season may have left some doubts in you, but remember the S84 version of you never left. I have no doubt in my mind, you’ll avenge yourself. 💚
Lyka, remember that you had moments where you dug a strong spike, received a sharp serve, recovered a stray ball. Let that motivate you, that you have it in you. Tomorrow is a chance for you to “higitan ang sarili.” Trust yourself as much as CRDJ trusted you. 💚

F2 has the ingredients to become a champion team. But what they need is to have calculated offense. Judging how their sideout&transition percentages have been the last 4 matches, F2’s weakness is not just attacking but what kind of attacks to utilize against specific teams.

What really worked for DLSU this match — they were able to activate multiple points of attack, whether off the bench or the starters. No one played terribly but CRDJ’s strategy was deep that even a 11-pt output of Jolina needed to be complimented by 9 from Alleiah.

Hello, even if NU gave more errors, La Salle’s sideout percentage was higher than NU in most of the sets played (except for the one’s they lost, duh). And again, as I’ve said before La Salle didn’t even have to rely on transition because they had good blocking.

A semi-convincing win. Will post my take on both the AdU and FEU vs DLSU matchups later. But for a teaser, I think DLSU’s areas for improvement would be setting and floor defense on 3rd and 6th rotation. We need to see our MBs dig like liberos again.

To make it more convincing, La Salle’s championship came in 1999, 13 years after joining the UAAP. Whilst UST’s came in 1974, 36 years after joining. If you want history to be exact, at least understand nuances.

The 3rd step in her approach has a little hop. If corrected, she’ll even have a higher vertical than in this video. Her windup&pullback are sound, but her armswing is still slow. If there’s anyone who could hone such raw talent like Vicky, that’s CRDJ. Proof in the pudding—Shevvy
Shev’s hitting form to follow through and landing is soooo sound. Even if she’s facing cross then twists to DTL, it looks effortless. I even talked about this with

that whoever trains her taught her the right way to avoid injury given her clearance is high too.

The fifth set was just a mastery of how CRDJ system works. The serves not only targeted and isolated the OHs but it forced NU to exclusively go to OPP. The perimeter defense of LaSalle rotated a little so Mars can be a part of the digging. This was the game changer.

The issue on "players showing swag" is harmless. I believe it adds spice to every game in UAAP and we're here for that.

In the end, while it was a great show of talent from both schools. La Salle’s edge was how deep their bench is & having different role-players in the game intended for specific plays. NU has a harder time in reading La Salle’s setting because of multiple players contributing.

F2’s mixed tempos really confused Cignal’s blockers. Here’s exhibit A of how Mar’s runs the offense. She sets Abby 3 tempos (0-1-2) and this play is probably the most complicated to execute. Abby run’s a long back slide and Kianna run’s a differential in the middle.
Angel—we may not come close to understanding your pain. But what we’ve seen from you this season is what a Lady Spiker is made of. Backs against the wall, circumstances stacked against you, you still let your arrows fly. You’re one of a kind. We believe 💚

Additionally, NU played with different tempos. They played 1-1.5 tempo for the middle and 2-3 for the wings which really would confuse La Salle’s block formation. However, in set 3, the in-game adjustments of CRDJ was masterful. He inserted a specialized played (Maicah).

While that is a “valid” perspective because it is true. However, isn’t it less impressive that a team can win sets but can’t win games? They were up twice as well in the finals in terms of sets but couldn’t close it out? So we’re still celebrating our 12th championship. 🍵

Don’t forget Jolina-Ara-Dawn at the back, is what gave F2 a very strong foundation in transition so they could convert points. Which is why they made 5-0/3-0 runs or how many it was because of how “malagkit” their FD was.

From there on, La Salle’s attacking was unpredictable, floor and the net defense adjusted(there were loose balls) but there was scoring coming from serves as well. The servers in DLSU targeted the farthest side for the ball to travel to the setter enough time for blocks to setup.

Maicah did not hit hard & down rather long & calculated. Formula NU used against La Salle. NU’s digging faltered and brought their sideout percentage to 40%. La Salle didn’t rely on transition plays due to good blocking. And OPP setting for NU was utilized for outlet plays.

This is where La Salle’s isolation play paid off as it was able to contain TWO of it’s hitters. Both OHs were limited because even the coach of NU suggested for Aly to fly solo. A very poor decision because the OH’s attacking tendencies were covered both on the net and the floor.

In set 2, NU has very strong transition play & La Salle needed to sideout more. The insertion of Provido exposed NU’s waterloo, their middles. Even if the pass was off the setter’s box, Lams would try to activate her middles but Provido stuck w/ neutral and guarded the middles.

NU’s attack was very strong in the first set. Siding out almost 60%. While all this was happening, Lasalle’s transition attacks were not converted in points mainly because NU’s floor defense covered where Lasalle’s attacks targeted. Mainly on the middleback (where B-ball is set)

Her approach is very clean & her body mechanics from approach to rotation is sound but I’ve noticed when she hits the d-ball she sometimes locks her shoulders & stops her armswing. That technique is normally done to favor spin and ball control. It’s a very calculated move. (2/x)
