La Salle’s Jolina dela Cruz, Mars Alba and Jovelyn Fernandez join F2 Logistics
F2 LOGISTICS got its own share of fresh talented recruits from the collegiate ranks as it plucked Jolina dela Cruz, Mars Alba and Jovelyn Fernandez out of reigning UAAP champion De La Salle University that should boost its stock in time for next month’s Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference.
The Cargo Movers made the official announcement Sunday night.
Ms. Dela Cruz, an outside spiker and Most Valuable Player (MVP) runner-up, Ms. Alba, a setter and a captain, and Ms. Fernandez, a UAAP best opposite spiker, were instrumental in engineering the Lady Spikers’ magnificent title romp in the UAAP and should be great pieces to F2’s title bid.
F2 Logistics coach Regine Diego was exhilarated by the arrival of their slew of rookie gems. “The F2 family is happy to have signed them,” Ms. Diego yesterday told The STAR. “I hope we’ll gel in time and we can catch up with our preparation for the Invitationals,” she added.
Ms. Diego is hoping the troika could gel with the team that included former De La Salle standouts Kianna Dy, Aby Marano, Ara Galang, Majoy Baron, Cha Cruz-Behag, Kim Fajardo and Dawn Macandili.
The Cargo Movers were bolstered by the addition of former league MVP Myla Pablo to start the year. — Joey Villar
