Defense is offense!

The De La Salle University Lady Spikers have struggled in the last conferences with the departures of Michelle Carolino, Maureen Penetrante, Desiree Hernandez, Carla Llaguno and Chi Saet. Manilla Santos then must come up stronger.

But it was never the same DLSU squad we've known. They always come up short of the title stint. But still, they were the team to beat.

In those trying times, La Salle brought Stephanie Mercado on the attack and Jacq Alarca covering the fortress. Still, it wasn't enough. A hole was yet to be covered.

Then came Michelle Datuin, but she evinced to be just a pretty face. She's a shuddering post. But seeing the expectations, she dares herself to prove that she has something to offer. With the confidence her teammates have given her, she pushed herself to the limit- and it's worth it. Hastening her attacks with wit and hardening her blocking skills. Now, DLSU has redeemed its power.

Recently, they captured the UAAP crown when they dethroned the defending champions FEU Lady Tams in a dramatic fashion. Coming back from a loss in the first game, they snatch the remainings in their best-of-3 series.

And Datuin has shown what defense can do.

Along with superspiker Stephanie Mercado, Cha Cruz and UAAP top blocker Jacq Alarca, Michelle Datuin is DLSU's lethal weapon.

Animo La Salle!

Don't blink! You might miss something.

Beauty and brain. Philippine Volleyball has a lot of them. Here's one.

Shaira Gonzales is a sophomore. Now what? Well, she's hot. I mean, she's dangerous when she gets hot during a game.

Adding up to the already superb Far Eastern University Lady Tams' roster, Shaira is a hard hitter that can whip the ball as fast as you blink. So don't blink when she's up for a spike. You'll miss it.

This middle stunner takes no much effort in hitting the ball. She seems to know just where to put the points. Gone were the days when she was so shy to even tap a hit.

With a total package in her, Shaira Gonzales is the player to crave for.

With Rachel Ann Daquis and Maica Morada on her sides, "The Force" is about to make it big for the Lady Tams.

May the force be with you FEU!

Supergirl... Double time!

With all the struggles that the Letran Lady Knights are facing, a leader must not quiver.

It is the task that Bangladesh Pantaleon must carry on her shoulders.

With her booming superspikes, consistent receives and hard-fought blocking skills - Bangladesh means business.

Armed with determination, the 5 foot Lady Knight digs her team through a needle hole - and gaining momentum.

The Letran Lady Knights have struggled in the V-league and winning was farfetched in their last participations.

Young guns as they were associated, they were assumed as underdogs. But said, a heart of a wounded soldier couldn't be shattered that easy. Indeed, the Lady Knights stand firm. Bangladesh, with Cindy Octana, Mary Grace Burce and Joy Cases, leads her squad and teaches them what a determined heart should be - never say die!

And this is the Lady Knights' permission to shine!
Arriba Letran!

Make way for the Saint!

Perhaps when you see the Ateneo De Manila University Lady Eagles at the courts you'll probably miss Pat Taganas and Carla Bello.

It will never be the same again.

The ADMU squad has struggled without Charo Soriano in the UAAP Volleyball League who was the heart and soul of their reign. Bea Pascual then had shouldered the spot. And she's doing a good job. But still, a "missing link" shuddered their campaign.

But as always, prayers were answered. Heaven has sent his saint.

Indeed, as her name denotes, Fille Saint Cainglet responsed. Coming off from being an average player, she proves both to the fans and the critics that she's not just another pretty face but a true gunner.

Her spikes dart like an eagle surging fearlessly. She delivers when the time calls for it. Attack or defense, name it she got it.

Along side with marquee hitters Gretchen Ho and Jam Ferrer, and the comebacking force, Ma. Rosario Soriano in the V-league, Cainglet provides a vital power to the roster.

Yes, it will never be the same again... It's just getting better.

Hail to the Saint!
Soar high Ateneo!

It's not just her looks and the glamour that kills. It's the skills dude!

Rachel Ann Daquis has shown everybody that she's indeed a princess. But not your usual velvet-sheet clad girl... Uhm lady. She is the power.

Towering at 5'7'', Daquis can get you slipped down the floor with her spinning spikes and shattering blocks while keeping you wonder where the hell that kill came from.

She once lead the the FEU Lady Tams snatch the UAAP Volleyball League crown from the heavily favored Adamson University Lady Falcons in 2008.

With a solid line-up, including superpowers Maica Morada and Shaira Gonzales, the "Princess of Power" and the Lady Tams are surging for another supremacy.

Forward FEU!
