The national women’s team final lineup for the Southeast Asian Games and the Asian Seniors will be bared this Wednesday, according to Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc.

LVPI acting president Pete Cayco said the list of 12 regular members and two reserve players was completed during their meeting with players and coaches on Friday.

In the same meeting, Cayco said superstar Alyssa Valdez showed up at the national team headquarters inside Arellano University.

“I even joked with Alyssa that this is the only time I’m pleased her team didn’t make the finals,” said Cayco, referring to Creamline’s ouster from the ongoing Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference finals.

Valdez is expected to make the team, along with Mika Reyes, Aby Maraño, Rachel Anne Daquis, Jaja Santiago, Denden Lazaro, Jovelyn Gonzaga, Kim Fajardo, Ces Molina and Maika Ortiz.
