“Maybe by next month we’ll play even better,” said De Jesus after the Lady Archers disposed of the University of the Philippines, 25-16, 25-17, 25-22, last Wednesday. “We still couldn’t practice as a complete team because of the ongoing [academic] finals.”

Aside from the Cruz sisters, the Lady Archers will also rely on top blocker Michelle Gumabao, spiker Abigail Maraño, setter Mika Esperanza, Ara Galang and Mika Reyes.
