"Rapid Deal" Rysabelle Devanadera

Middle Hitter/ Middle Blocker
San Sebastian Col lege Lady Stags
Jersey #1

Offense: 8 stars
Defense: 8 stars

Deal or no Deal? Better make it fast.

Rysabelle Devanadera, or Sasa, is formidable when it comes to attack. She can wallops the ball like a rocket launched in midair. Expect to be bombed! Or better yet, cover yourself up. Her quicks are rapid ready to rap you out of the map, err...court.

San Sebastian has made it to the semis in the ongoing 6th Shakey's V-league and took game 1 from the tough FEU Lady Tams in their best-of-3 series. And when the call of a hero was off, Sasa delivered. Fast.

With her powerful spikes come the dominating blocking skills. She's not intimidated by taller players. Dare her, she deals.

A force like Sasa, San Sebastian College Lady Stags is a one tough wall to subdue.

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!

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!
