The NU Lady Bulldogs can cement their dynasty with another Finals win over La Salle, this time in UAAP Season 87.
The NU Lady Bulldogs are once again on the brink of volleyball greatness.
In their fourth straight Finals appearance, the defending champions are out to make history, aiming to become the first women’s team since La Salle (Season 78-80) to win back-to-back titles.
Ironically, the Lady Bulldogs can do just that against a new batch of Lady Spikers. The Finals start with Game 1 on Sunday, May 11.
Unstoppable All Season
NU rolled into the Finals as the top seed with a 12-2 record, showcasing their dominance by going 7-0 against all other Final Four teams throughout the season.
Their mettle was tested in the Final Four against FEU, where they stormed back from a 0-2 set deficit to complete an emphatic reverse sweep—yet another proof of their championship DNA.
Powerhouse Core
The Lady Bulldogs are fueled by their star duo of Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon, both MVP-caliber talents who have defined NU’s golden era.
Vange Alinsug has emerged as a clutch third scorer, while Lams Lamina continues to shine as the best setter in the league, orchestrating NU’s fluid offense with precision.
Elite on All Fronts
Statistically, NU has dominated across the board—leading the league in spiking, serving, digging, and setting—a testament to the Lady Bulldogs’ complete, well-rounded roster and elite system.
A Rivalry Renewed
Facing La Salle for the third time in the last four seasons, NU has a chance to tilt the series in its favor after splitting the first two encounters.
A win here not only secures a second straight title but could officially usher in a new era of dominance, with NU poised to become the next dynasty in women’s collegiate volleyball.
