Manila, Philippines-Eager to defend their proud school pride against their archinizations, Shevana Laput sparked a 25-point career summit and plotted with Captain Angel Canino in the victory of season 87, 25-14, 20-25, 25-19 of the UAAP season in the volleyball tournament of season 87 of the UAAP.
Laput reset his career summit, drilling 19 striking attacks, three AS and three blocks to give the room his 15th consecutive-to-face-to-head victory with Ateneo dating back to the final of season 79 in 2017.
“Personally, last season, especially around 2, I feel like I have already started this role of being one of the guys of choice, being someone on which my team trusts and relies,” said Laput, whose team won their third consecutive victory this season.

“We talked about pride by playing. Of course, they call it a rivalry for a reason, so we always want to prove that even if we have a lot of new players and that we are a young team, we are always proud to show in a team. This game is super important for us, not only for victory but also to gain confidence, “said Canino in Philippin.
“Each match focuses on this pride as Lady Spiker because of the heritage of coach Ramil and the history of Lady Spikers. The difference with Ateneo is that we really feel rivalry, so we must have even more pride and heart. We must show that we can always remain strong and maintain what coach Ramil and the team have achieved over the years.
