Lady Spikers overwhelm NU for 12th win

The Lady Spiker’s win today wasn’t a surprise at all. What is shocking though was that the winless NU squad was able to win a set. You could chalk that up to overconfidence on the part of our volleybelles. Nevertheless, with the Lady Spiker’s 25-15, 19-25, 25-15, 25-13 demolition job on the Lady Bulldogs, they are assured of a twice-to-beat advantage in the semis. A win over also-ran UE on Wednesday will solidify their top position at the end of the eliminations.

Charleen Cruz led the team with 14 points and 11 attacks.

Manila, Philippines – In the 1980’s, Lydia de Vega brought pride and honor to the country when she won gold medals in the track and field events of the New Delhi and Seoul Asian Games.

Gifted with athletic genes, Stephanie started to play tennis, badminton, and swimming at a very young age. She, however candidly admitted that, unlike her mom, she never wanted to get into athletics.

Stephanie was already in high school when she realized her love for volleyball.

“Nu’ng una, laru-laro lang sa labas ng bahay with friends, until I got in the varsity team of St. Bridget’s School in Quezon City,” said Stephanie of her volleyball initiation.

Years later, she would become a member of the Philippine Youth Team. While donning the national colors, Stephanie got the attention of De La Salle University Lady Spikers coach Ramil de Jesus, who immediately talked to Lydia and …
