The Lady
Spikers should've gotten more individual awards in Baguio if not for
the pre-arranged distribution limiting them to a maximum of three. For
one, based on stats, Alarca should've won the best server award.

But
winning individual awards, and even the championship for that matter,
weren't really the primary purpose of the team in joining the
tournament. The team is trying fine-tune to improve from last season.

The
coaching staff is confident Mika Esperanza can make the Spikers offense
hum. They credit Cruz' and Mercado's superb showing to Mika's excellent
setting. This early, she fits the Spikers like a glove. Can't imagine
what she'll become after a few months work with Chi Saet.

Theodosio was used as the primary libero in Baguio and she stepped up big time. Looks like we found an able back-up to Gohing.

Coach
Ramil is, of course, not only looking at S73 but also beyond. Mercado
and Alarca will be playing their last this coming season while Cruz can
still play 'til S74 but will be graduating this year. So replacements
for these vital cogs must be developed starting this year. In this
aspect, the coach believes the reserve and the current batch of
recruits have what he needs.

Three of the recruits are from the
provinces--from Batangas, Bulacan, and Cebu--and the rest are from MM.
No need to indicate their positions; what with coach Ramil's knack for
converting players, what's the point, right? All we need to know is
that they'll be developed to replace those leaving the team. Several of
them are potent attackers and two are superb blockers--better than Siy
when she first showed up in La Salle.

Funny somebody mentioned about using two setters, the 6-2 formation was tried in practice before Baguio. Nice to watch!
