Reigning champion La Salle secures a Final Four slot but faces challenges in their title retention bid without injured MVP Angel Canino.
MANILA, Philippines – Reigning champion La Salle just clinched a Final Four slot but it has to shore up its drive to a successful UAAP women’s volleyball title retention bid in a tougher journey ahead, without the reigning Most Valuable Player Angel Canino .
Canino, who was in uniform to ensure solid support for her teammates, showed up with a sling on her right arm but her sudden absence took a toll on the Lady Spikers in a dogfight with the bottom-ranked Maroons.
