MANILA, Philippines — Angel Canino suffered an injury on her right arm from a non-volleyball-related accident, sitting out in the resumption of La Salle’s second-round campaign in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament.

Amid the rumors about her well-being the past few days, Canino still arrived with her team for the game at Mall of Asia Arena but was wearing a sling in her right arm hidden under a La Salle jacket. Her whole arm is heavily wrapped.

The Lady Spikers still pulled through even without Canino, staving off the gritty University of the Philippines, 26-24, 25-19, 24-26, 27-25, to secure at least a playoff for a Final Four berth.

Canino spelled the difference in the Lady Spikers’ title run in Season 85, exacting a sweet revenge on the National University Lady Bulldogs to end a five-year title drought.
