The UPIS Boys Volleyball Team’s (BVT) and Girls Volleyball Team’s (GVT) graduating players fought their hearts out as their 79th UAAP season came to a close last November 6 at Adamson University Gym.

GVT seniors Urielle Lilang, Angelica Jota, Caila Cadiz, and Angelique Angala and BVT seniors Carlos Laderas, Sam Agaran, Angelo Cinco still hold their heads high as they bow out of their last UAAP season, giving a fight worth remembering.

Though the teams ended in 7th and 8th place respectively, they bid UAAP goodbye armed with lessons and memories they will cherish for life.

“Maraming nangyari sa team before magstart yung season kaya masaya pa rin ako na pagdating sa huli naging maayos, masaya, at nag-enjoy pa rin,” former girls’ team captain Lilang said. “At may feeling ng fulfillment kasi naging part ako ng UPISGVT,” she added.

Jota, who also played with the team for 5 years, shared her sentiments. “Sana mahigitan nila yung nagawa namin this year at mas magkaroon pa sila ng team spirit na magtatagal.”

On the other hand, BVT team captain Laderas said, “Masaya ako kasi kahit na madaming nangyari sa team bago mag-season, solid pa rin kami as a team.”
