DLSU PORTAL: Lady Spikers- An Eye for One More?

It was a tough battle against the FEU Lady Tamaraws, a fierceful duel of might in the last UAAP Season 71 Women's Volleyball, for the De La Salle University Lady Spikers. Nevertheless, they survived. But what lies ahead for this team?

"Capt. Fireheart" Manilla Santos is out. "Sgt. D" Michelle Datuin has waved her farewell. What was left with DLSU? All task now will be shouldered by Stephanie Mercado. The Sweet Assassin will have to face a bigger challenge, alongside with the Jackhammer, Jaq Alarca without them.

Can DLSU make it twice in a row and regain the crown of being UAAP's powerhouse? That's what has to be seen.

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!

Serene, innocent, humble - the words you probably say when you first lay an eye to on her. Yes, indeed. But wait. There's something more. See her eyes? Remember the fastest woman in the world- Lydia De Vega? Alas! She's the daughter of the great living legend. Now, wonder no more to whom she was made of.

This DLSU standout can boom a spike faster than a speeding arrow and more powerful than a baseball player's swing.

Huh.

She has a dig that will remind you of leila Barros, the main gunner of the powerhouse Brasil team in the 90's. And of course, isn't she the making of another Michelle Carolino?

Paning, as she's fondly called by her friends, is the top attacker of DLSU. She's the high-leaping junior that knuckles down the ball in a quick trigger. And that made her one of the most dangerous attacker. Her spike has a strong spin at the end. So better have a steady arms when you're trying to dig her shot.

With a superspiker in Mercado, the De la Salle Lady Spikers are out to conquer the courts.

Watch out people... Here come the champions!
Animo La Salle!
