MANILA, Philippines—La Salle will be keeping its core intact for another run at the title, following its triumphant UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball tournament championship campaign.

During a courtesy call with University president Br. Bernie Oca, FSC, on Tuesday, Stars Angel Canino, Shevana Laput, Amie Provido and Lyka De Leon formally committed to exhaust their final playing year with the Lady Spikers.

“Us four, we wish to continue this legacy and we want to stay for one more year,” Laput said, as quoted from a video uploaded by Archer’s Network.

After the championship-clinching win on Saturday over National University, no La Salle player stood in the middle during the school’s “Arrows Up” tradition, usually reserved for graduating players receiving their sendoff.

For Season 89, the Lady Spikers will still have Laput, who won the Finals MVP award, and Canino, who played a pivotal role in the title run en route to her third Best Outside Spiker plum.

Provido and De Leon will also continue to bolster the squad alongside rising stars Shane Reterta, Lilay Del Castillo and Eshana Nunag.
