Two-time MVP Mycah Go fulfills dream of ending collegiate career as a champ
NCAA Mycah Go capped off her collegiate career on a high note as De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde won its fourth straight title on Wednesday. In Benilde's four-peat run in NCAA women's volleyball, Go played with the Lady Blazers for three seasons, while she was part of the coaching staff in Season 98 as she was recovering from her injury then. "Siyempre, sobrang happy," Go said. "Lahat ng efforts namin sa team, lalo na binreak namin 'yung pinaghirapan ng batchmates ko, nalungkot din naman kami pero sabi nga namin different story na 'to," she said while referring to the loss against Colegio de San Juan de Letran early in the season which snapped Benilde's 43-game winning streak. On top of being a three-time champion, Go was named as the league's Most Valuable Player for the second time around, and was also awarded the Finals MVP honors. Despite her achievements, Go's collegiate journey was not a smooth sailing one, particularly when she sustained an ACL injury in Season 98. "Nahirapan ako sa pinagdaanan ko, hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin nung na-injure ako," she said. "Masaya lang ako naging patient na kasi sa sarili ko. Hindi ko tinigilan talaga. And di ko naman in-expect na ganito 'yung magiging outcome." Even she admitted that her second MVP award was an unexpected one. "Gusto ko lang talaga umuwi nang champion. Gusto ko lang umalis ng CSB nang champion. 'Yun lang talaga hinihingi ko sa mga teammates ko." Now, she is set to join ZUS Coffee, also handled by Benilde's Jerry Yee, in the professional league. "Ibang journey na rin 'yun," she said. "Siyempre, tuluy-tuloy lang 'yung learnings. Kung ano 'yung dapat sabihin ng coach, tuloy-tuloy lang din sa pag-take n'un, kung paano i-apply sa pros. Siyempre, ibang level na yun. So, makikinig lang." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

NCAA De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde overcame a late rally from Mapua, 25-12, 25-19, 26-24, on Friday in the NCAA Season 100 women's volleyball tournament to officially claim a slot in the Final Four. The Lady Blazers, who are aiming for their fourth straight title, improved to 14-2 and took the top spot of the standings, while the Lady Cardinals slipped to 11-6. Benilde will also mark its fourth straight appearance in the Final Four since the league returned to action after the pandemic-halted Seasons 95 and 96. Mapua was leading 17-12 in the third set as it tried to extend the match, but Mycah Go led the fightback for the Taft-based squad and inched closer, 17-16. Tere Manalo, Freighanne Garcia, and Theresa Tambasacan further widened Mapua's lead, 21-16, but Go started another run for the Lady Blazers. As Garcia put Mapua at 23-20, Benilde managed to pull off and score four straight, with Rhea Mae Densing putting the Lady Blazers at match point. Nicole Ong then salvaged one to tie the set, but an attack error from Mapua and Cristy Ondangan's ace sealed the victory for Benilde. "Nasa top kami ngayon eh. 'Yun plano namin, makuha ang top 1 para magka-advantage," Benilde head coach Onyok Getigan said after the victory. Densing led the Lady Blazers with 20 points from 19 attacks and a block, to go with nine digs, while Ondangan added 15 points. Go, meanwhile, had 11 points. Only Raissa Ricablanca was able to score in double digits for Mapua with 11 points which went with 10 digs. The win also handed Benilde a twice-to-beat bonus with only two games remaining, and also assured Colegio de San Juan de Letran a slot in the semifinals. Benilde will still face University of Perpetual Help System DALTA and Lyceum of the Philippines University, while Mapua will close its elimination round campaign against Letran. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
