DLSU Lady Spikers Three-Peat

Congratulations to the DLSU Lady Spikers for winning their third championship title in a row, beating the ADMU Lady Eagles in the finals.

The De La Salle women's volleyball team lost their first game against UST but as it turned out, that was the only blemish on their record this season as they won every other game they played. This included two amazing come-from-behind wins against against Ateneo, once in the first round of eliminations and again in the first game of the finals. Both times, they were behind two sets to love, and both times they fought their way back. That showed amazing belief and incredible heart. Those qualities, along with their experience and all-around talent and consistency (and unparalleled blocking!) got them the championship.

This caps a truly amazing season of UAAP women's volleyball, where six of the eight teams were strong contenders for the final four. In the end, though, DLSU was just too good for everyone. Congratulations, Lady Spikers! Congratulations also to Abi Marano and Ara Galang for being hailed co-MVPs of the season and Michele Gumabao for being declared the finals MVP.
