A few more random game images follow ...

Ateneo Head Coach Anisurn Bundit makes a sarcastic gesture,
to the "delight" of Assistant Coach Parley Tupaz.

Like her mult-awarded predecesor [Jemenea "Jem" Ferrer], rookie setter Julia "Jia" Morado wears Jersey #12 for the Blue & White. I heard Jia lost the Best Setter award to Lady Spiker Kim Fajardo by the slimmest of margins. Anyway - To Kim ->Congratulations ! / To Jia ->Way To Go Girl !

Rookie Desiree Cheng is blocked by veterans
[#2] Alyssa Valdez and [#1] Aeriel Patnogon

Acting "innocently coy", as if she was just caught w/ her hand in the cookie jar {in a manner of speaking} Libero Dennise Michelle"Denden" Lazaro anxiously awaits the call of the ref.
