Two-time UAAP MVP Bella Belen dedicated NU's second title in three years to those who doubted the team after they started Season 86 with a sweep loss to UST.
Despite early losses and a failed title defense the previous year, Belen used the doubts as motivation for herself and her teammates.
The NU Lady Bulldogs dominated the second round of Season 86, sweeping all seven games to secure the top seed.
After a setback in the Final Four, they rallied to sweep their remaining matches, including a two-game series against the UST Golden Tigresses in the finals.
Belen expressed pride in her team's resilience and unity, emphasizing their fight despite facing criticism and disbelief from others.
She also captured her second MVP award in three seasons, contributing 19 points, 11 digs, and nine excellent receptions in their title-clinching Game 2 win.
