With crown in hand, La Salle now a target in UAAP volleyball
The De La Salle Lady Spikers are aiming to win their second consecutive UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball championship.
Assistant coach Noel Orcullo acknowledges that defending the title is more difficult than pursuing it, especially with a target on their backs.
Orcullo noted the team's challenge is compounded by the loss of key players Jolina Dela Cruz, Mars Alba, Fifi Sharma, and Justine Jazareno, who have either graduated or turned pro.
Despite the departures, player Thea Gagate expressed confidence in the team's ability to repeat as champions.
The Lady Spikers will open their title defense against the Adamson Lady Falcons.
