DLSU is aiming to bounce back after a rough Season 87, where they finished 4-10 and missed the Final Four for the third straight year.
Holdovers Luisa dela Paz, Kyla Sunga, and Patricia Mendoza will be tasked with anchoring the Taft-based squad’s charge as the Lady Archers aim to return to title contender status.
Furthermore, sisters Aiesha and Shantei Dizon also aim to prove their worth in the UAAP women's basketball scene for the Cholo Vilanueva-mentored team.
The Lady Archers are chasing their first Final Four since Season 85 and their first crown since 2014 (Season 76).
