UAAP: Defiant La Salle keeps goals high despite Angel Canino injury
The De La Salle Lady Spikers defeated the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons in four sets with scores of 26-24, 25-20, 24-26, and 27-25.
The Lady Spikers played without star player Angel Canino, who is recovering from an accident that caused cuts on her arms.
Canino's injuries may keep her sidelined until May, potentially making her available for the playoffs.
Shevana Laput stepped up to lead the Lady Spikers with 21 points, while Alleiah Malaluan contributed 17 points.
Maicah Larroza also provided significant support with 12 points, 14 digs, and 10 receptions.
The Fighting Maroons were led by Irah Jaboneta with 18 points and Stephanie Bustrillo with 16 points.
This win improved the Lady Spikers' record to 8-1, securing them at least a playoff for a Final Four berth.
Despite Canino's absence, the team remains focused on their championship defense and aims for the top two spots in the semifinals.
