For five seasons, the DLSU Green Archers reigned supreme over the UP Fighting Maroons, registering 10 victories in as many games against a squad that finished 1-13 last season.

Nothing can be more devastating than losing a game that went down to the wire. Such was the case for the DLSU Green Spikers yesterday at the San Juan Arena as they succumbed to NCAA champions Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals in four sets, 25-23, 23-25, 25-20, 26-24. The fourth set was especially heartbreaking for the […]
