FRESH from their victory against the San Sebastian College-Recoletos Lady Stags in Shakey’s V-League last May 27, the Lady Spikers will take a break and will not join the second conference of the tournament.
“Our players requested for a break,” coach Cesael delos Santos said in Filipino. “They needed to rest because of the continuous games in the last conference.”
To give consideration to NCAA teams which will be holding volleyball games this second semester, V-league is set to start on July 11, earlier than previous conferences which usually start in October.
In the meantime, the Lady Spikers sought to focus on their studies as well as their preparation for UAAP Season 73.
“Our formal training has not yet started and we have decided to focus on our studies first,” Lady Spiker Katrina Carangan said in a phone interview. She said the team will go on a vacation in Hong Kong before resuming their training.
In previous years, the España-based squad also skipped the league’s first conference of the fifth season in 2008 due to academic reasons.
