MANILA, Philippines— Michelle Cobb has opted to forgo her final year of eligibility with the La Salle Lady Spikers in the UAAP.
In an announcement on her Instagram Monday night, Cobb said she has “made the decision to not continue with collegiate volleyball.”
Cobb played three seasons with the Lady Spikers, helping them win two UAAP championships in her three seasons as setter with the Lady Spikers.
“I will definitely miss the energy and all the love na wala talagang kupas 👊🏼 One thing is for sure though, once a Lady Spiker, always a Lady Spiker,” Cobb wrote.
She last saw action in March 2020 in UAAP Season 82 where La Salle beat Ateneo in four sets. The season was abruptly ended due to the pandemic.
“The UAAP was just a dream for the 10 year old me. It was a stage any young volleyball player would’ve wanted to step on. Coming into DLSU, all I had was a chance. Holding on to that opportunity regardless of the height requirement,” said Cobb.
“Setting aside the “disadvantages,” working twice as much and dedicating my whole self to the sport I learned to love made all the difference,” she added.
The UAAP women’s volleyball tournament returns on May 5.
