“I would like to say thank you to the Akari management especially to sir Christopher Tiu for giving me this opportunity. Let’s go Nxled see you on the court,” she said.
The 6-foot-1 Lacsina will play under Japanese coach Taka Minowa for the first time. She is reunited with her former National University setter Kamille Cal and also teaming up with ex-college rivals Cams Victoria, Dani Ravena, Lycha Ebon, and Krich Macaslang as well as veteran Jho Maraguinot.
The 24-year-old player, who can play as a middle blocker and spiker, thrived as a hitter after emerging as the leading F2 scorer and No.8 in the league with 142 points built on 115 kills, 22 blocks, and five aces. She was also the No.4 best blocker with 0.54 kill blocks per set in the second All-Filipino Conference.
The former NU star, who was part of the Lady Bulldogs’ 16-0 sweep to rule the UAAP Season 84 women’s volleyball tournament, is playing for her second pro team after her leap to F2 Logistics last year and played four conferences.
