Bocboc's Bold Bet UP Women's Volley Team Shows Promise in UAAP Season 87 Opener

As the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons women's volleyball team took to the court for their first game of the season, head coach Benson Bocboc exuded confidence in his youthful lineup. Despite comprising more than half rookies, Bocboc believes that this new generation of players has what it takes to succeed.

The team's performance on Saturday only reinforced his optimism, as they narrowly edged out the UE Lady Warriors with a 25-18, 26-24, 24-26, 13-25, 15-13 win. Rookie Joan Monares led the charge with 17 points, while Kianne Olango contributed 15.

So, what's behind Bocboc's optimism? For one, he recognizes that the first game of the season sets the tone for the rest of the tournament. And while the Fighting Maroons have faced tough odds before, this year's lineup has a unique dynamic that could propel them to success.

This is huge for us, Bocboc said after the game. We have a new coach (me), more than half our lineup consists of rookies... I think we'll fight until the end. I think we will get there.

As the team continues to adjust to playing in larger venues like the Mall of Asia Arena, Bocboc emphasized the importance of mental toughness and adaptability. A lot of them played at MOA for the first time. It's a very chilly venue. There are no excuses, but it's a factor we need to be ready for.

What sets this team apart is its ability to rally together, even in the face of adversity. As Bocboc noted, They've always been fighters. In the end (during the fifth set), we saw more of that from them. We will adjust as fast as we can.

In a league where veteran players often receive the spotlight, it's refreshing to see a coach who believes in his rookies' potential to lead the charge. As Bocboc said, A lot of players can step up. It doesn't have to be the veterans; even the rookies can be leaders inside.

With this kind of spirit and determination, the UP Fighting Maroons are poised to make waves in UAAP Season 87. Will they be able to sustain their momentum and make a deep run in the tournament? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain with Bocboc at the helm, this team has the potential to surprise everyone.
