Perfect in the elimination round and perfect in winning Game 1.
With that, La Salle is eyeing nothing but staying the same as the Lady Spikers try to wrap up the Season 88 UAAP women’s volleyball Finals against back-to-the-wall National University on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
A 13th title in a spotless 16-0 campaign is within reach and the Lady Spikers won’t let their guard down against a bounce-back-seeking Lady Bulldogs in their 5 p.m. duel as NU tries to keep a “three-peat” bid alive.
Angel Canino, whose generational Rookie-MVP season three years ago was also the last time La Salle won a title, is determined to finish the season with a championship and add to the Lady Spikers’ rich winning tradition.

MANILA, Philippines — Amie Provido and the La Salle Lady Spikers are not letting their guards down as they try to complete a perfect campaign to rule the UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball tournament.
Game 2 is on Saturday at Mall of Asia Arena.
Provido stood tall in Finals Game 1 on Wednesday with 12 points, highlighted by four kill blocks, as La Salle swept defending champion National University, 25-23, 25-18, 25-18, to inch closer to ending a three-year title drought.
The Alas Pilipinas middle blocker was happy with their performance as a team, but she insisted that the job’s not finished.
UAAP Finals: Lady Bulldogs still confident despite Game 1 loss

Despite getting swept by unbeaten La Salle in the title series opener, National University coach Regine Diego urged her Lady Bulldogs to keep their heads high as they try to save their “three-peat” bid in the UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball Finals when Game 2 is played on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Bulldogs lost early control in the first set and then went down easily after that as the Lady Spikers shook off the cobwebs of a 17-day break before posting a 25-23, 25-18, 25-18 victory and inching closer to regaining championship glory they last tasted three years ago.
It may be frustrating, but Diego told her wards to stay confident heading into the do-or-die Game 2.

“I told them to keep their heads high because it’s not the end,” Diego said. “If we get too emotional about this loss, it’ll be harder for us to move forward.
“We just have to keep working so we can fight until the end,” Diego went on. “Of course, it’s upsetting, but we need to focus more on preparing rather than feeding in the negative atmosphere. We’re still confident heading into the next game.”
