FOR the first time this year a pair of volleyball stars will be honored at the annual Collegiate Press Corps Awards.
University of Santo Tomas’ Sisi Rondina and Arellano University’s Regine Arocha are to be honored at the awards ceremonies happening today at the Amelie Hotel Manila in Malate for their achievements in collegiate volleyball last season.
It will mark the first time that volleyball stars will be honored in the annual event organized by the Collegiate Press Corps, composed of scribes from print and online outfits covering the National Collegiate Athletic Association and University Athletic Association of the Philippines.
Rondina is to be honored as volleyball player of the year after successfully leading the Golden Tigresses to the finals on her final year in Season 81 while also completing an amazing three-peat in beach volleyball for UST.
She also won the most valuable player award for indoor volleyball in a season that saw the Tigresses come within a win away from claiming the UAAP title.
Joining Rondina as volleyball player of the year is Arocha, who came up big in the finals of NCAA Season 94 by leading Arellano to a thrilling series comeback win over Perpetual Help to complete the Lady Chiefs’ three-peat and winning her second straight Finals MVP award.
The annual Collegiate Press Corps Awards is presented by SportsVision and supported by Chooks-to-Go, Amelie Hotel, Northport, World Balance, and AXA Team EDS. — Michael Angelo S. Murillo
