La Salle beats UP in UAAP, Del Castillo dedicates win to mom

La Salle Lady Spikers secured a four-set victory over UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament on Sunday, March 2.

The win was crucial for La Salle to avoid slipping into seventh place despite their title contender status and poor start this season.

Middle blocker Lilay del Castillo dedicated her standout performance to her late mother Lilian on what would have been her 61st birthday.

Del Castillo contributed significantly with 11 points, including four blocks, four aces, and three attacks, helping La Salle bounce back from their challenging start.

The player expressed her determination to honor her mother's memory by improving every day and maintaining the trust placed in her by her team.
