The National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs' volleyball dynasty faces a significant challenge following the departure of key players Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon.
Belen, a three-time MVP, and Solomon, the last season's Finals MVP, have played their final games for NU, contributing to the team's second consecutive UAAP Season 87 championship and third overall in the last four seasons.
Their departure leaves questions about NU's ability to defend its title and the readiness of emerging players to fill the void.
Despite the uncertainty, coach Sherwin Meneses expressed hope for continued championships, drawing parallels to professional leagues.
Vange Alinsug, expected to lead the team next season, expressed confidence that the remaining players can carry the championship legacy.
