As De La Salle University celebrated its 13th championship in the UAAP women’s volleyball tournament, the electric crowd inside the SM Mall of Asia Arena held its breath, waiting to see who would step into the middle of the Archers’ Stance tradition.
But the Lady Spikers delivered a statement of their own as none of the team’s seniors — Angel Canino, Shevana Laput, Amie Provido, and Lyka De Leon — stepped into the center of the formation.
It remained empty.
And in that moment, the La Salle faithful were filled with joy and hope, as the seniors signaled their intent to return for one more year in pursuit of a back-to-back championship.
