After over a year with Far Eastern University, Elize Ronquillo has found a new home.
Ronquillo is eager to write a new chapter in her collegiate career, taking her act to National University.
The promising hitter herself confirmed the development to reporters on Wednesday, although she didn’t go into details on her sudden transfer.
“Dahil sa personal reasons lang din po,” she bared.
Ronquillo added that she’s already enrolled in NU. Therefore, she’s already serving her residency year to join the Lady Bulldogs in time for Season 83.
The willowy spiker has also started training with the team. And her transition from FEU to NU was made easier by the Lady Bulldogs, who welcomed her with open arms.
“Okay naman po. Noong una po parang nanibago kasi bagong pakikisama naman po. Pero after a week naman po okay naman,” she shared.
“Nakaka-join ko na silang lahat, nakakasama ko na silang umalis.”
When NU stunned the UST Golden Tigresses in its UAAP Season 82 campaign opener, Ronquillo was even seen watching alongside Ces Robles and Joyme Cagande.
Coincidentally, the team that NU faced on Wednesday was the other program that she was looking to be a part of.
“Actually, nag-tryout po ako sa dalawang schools [NU, UST] pero mas na-feel ko po sa NU po,” she confided.
“Masaya po kasi sila kasama ang welcoming po talaga.”
At the end of the day, Ronquillo left FEU in good terms before turning a new page of her career.
“Nakapagpaalam naman po ako ng maayos kay coach [George Pascua],” she said.
“Then sabi naman po niya na if final na ang decision ko hindi naman po niya ako pipilitin pa na mag-stay po.”
