“Yes. She (Valdez) will be coming with them (Ateneo) and they’ll be leaving tommorrow,” confirmed Ateneo team manager Tony Boy Liao.

Also joining the Lady Eagles for the tournament are Michelle Morente, who sat out UAAP 78 due to academic difficulties, and Ana Gopico, who last played for Ateneo in UAAP 76 when she suffered an ACL injury.

The Phenom led Ateneo to their third straight UAAP Finals appearance only to lose in three games to the De La Salle University Lady Spikers.
