THE SOUTHWESTERN University (SWU) Lady Cobras start their bid for a fourth straight crown today when they tangle with the University of Cebu (UC) in the 12th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) volleyball tournament at the University of San Carlos (USC) gym.
The men’s titlists USC also start their title-defense with a match against UC.
The belles of SWU have simply been dominant over the last three years. Despite the loss of several key players such as Princess Pido and setter Lorie May Layno, the Lady Cobras still look primed for yet another run at the title.
Leading the team will be Rapril Aguilar and Danika Gendrauli who will be backed up by Marlyn Llagoso, Loida Abellana, Hansel Bantiles, Al Sheree Eupena, Necca dela Llana, Evan Genargue, Jerra Pacinio, Charrylou Paden, Razel Taculod, Anna Sabanal and Neresa Villanueva.
The other game in the women’s division will have the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) take on USC.
In the men’s side, SWU will debut against USPF while the University of the Visayas (UV) battles the University of San Jose-Recoletos. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
