“Sobrang saya namin kasi ayun nga ang dami naming pinagdaanan. Sabi ko nga kanina, muhkang madali pero yung every training, every game, pag mindset namin siyempre iba eh so sobrang saya namin na nanalo kami this (conference), na-sweep namin and sobrang galing lang talaga ni coach Sherwin [Meneses],” said Carlos after completing a 15-game sweep.
Carlos won her fourth championship with Creamline since joining the club in the PVL bubble two years ago, crediting their success to coach Sherwin Meneses.
“Grabe yung pasensya (ni coach), grabe yung mga tinuturo niya, yung sistema, along with yung mga kasama niyang coaches sobrang grateful namin sa kanila amd especially siyempre Rebisco management, maraming maraming salamat po,” she said.
