Arrows fly, Bulldogs cry: How La Salle can snatch UAAP volleyball crown over NU

MANILA, Philippines – The best-of-three UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball finals kick off on Sunday, May 11, pitting the defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs against the powerhouse La Salle Lady Spikers.

Unlike past decades, La Salle comes in as the underdog again versus NU, a year after the Lady Spikers got ousted in the Final Four by arch rival UST Golden Tigresses.

Former rookie MVP Angel Canino was unable to repeat as champion as she missed a large chunk of Season 86 due to a freak injury on her spiking hand.
