La Salle coach Ramil De Jesus had a modest goal of reaching NU\u2019s level after the group of former stars Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon won three of the last 4 seasons for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, you usually must chase the extent of the champion. Whoever wins the title becomes the usual you could prepare for and check out to achieve,\u201d said De Jesus in Filipino. \u201cIt also helped that a few of our seniors played for Alas \u2026 they became guides for (our) younger players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coach Ramil de Jesus and the La Salle Lady Spikers have fun after winning the championship within the UAAP Season 88 women\u2019s volleyball tournament, beating NU Lady Bulldogs. \u2013MARLO CUETO\/INQUIRER.net<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However it wasn\u2019t easy before they finally erased memories of Season 76, once they squandered an outright Finals berth and lost the title to an Ateneo squad led by Alyssa Valdez.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruthfully, it was very difficult. Even in the primary round, we already faced plenty of struggles,\u201d De Jesus said. \u201cThere have been games without (some key players). Those were challenges the team needed to undergo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI even told myself possibly we\u2019d turn out to be champions due to all of the challenges we experienced. It wasn\u2019t easy because we mostly relied on seven to eight players within the rotation,\u201d he went on. \u201cWith games (played) so close together, some players were coping with knee pain and body aches. Recovery became a extremely big deal for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful we finished Season 88 without major injuries and that the players stayed healthy overall, though I do know lots of them were already playing through pain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The longtime La Salle coach was grateful for an additional championship, as his passion to show aspiring volleyball players won’t ever stop, hoping to proceed developing more Lady Spikers and winning more UAAP titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, whenever you go to La Salle, you’ve to be able to adjust. You might want to follow the system and do what\u2019s asked of you,\u201d De Jesus explained. \u201cIn case you\u2019re just going there to be related to La Salle, then that\u2019s not the goal. In case you decide to go there, you’ve to be able to handle the whole lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching is basically my passion. At any time when I see potential in a player, I need to assist bring out their talent and keep pushing them further. I actually enjoy teaching, and if a player desires to learn, we\u2019ll help them improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

NU saw its bid for a 3rd straight title denied by La Salle within the rivals\u2019 fourth Finals meeting.<\/p>\n

Setter Lams Lamina played her final game for the Lady Bulldogs with 11 excellent sets.<\/p>\n

Vange Alinsug led NU with 14 points. Sam Cantada had eight points, while Game 1 leading scorer Arah Panique was held to simply seven points. INQ<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
