San Beda University Lady Red Spikers bolster their roster for the upcoming NCAA women’s volleyball campaign with the commitment of setter Patricia Grace Hiponia.
Hiponia, part of the Western Visayas secondary girls volleyball team that dominated the 2023 Palarong Pambansa, has chosen to join the Lady Red Spikers to fulfill her dream of playing in Manila.
“It was my dream to play and study in Manila, and it was an honor that San Beda has given me that opportunity to fulfill this dream,” said Hiponia, who has multiple Best Setter awards while playing various leagues in Western Visayas.
“San Beda can expect me to provide positive attitude, hard work, respect, sportsmanship, optimism, and most importantly, commitment and dedication, not just during NCAA matches but every time, on and off the court,” she added.
Hiponia expressed her excitement to contribute to the Lady Red Spikers once she becomes eligible for NCAA Season 100.
“As a setter, I will do my best to contribute to the team by setting the ball well. I am cooperative and have good communication skills, which are the factors to advocate teamwork,” Hiponia said.
“I believe teamwork is essential to have a good development of the team along the way, and I also look forward to helping San Beda achieve their championship aspirations someday,” she added.
Hiponia joins the Lady Red Spikers as the latest recruit from the Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts volleyball program, alongside incoming rookies Sophie Cagalawan, Gwen Banas, and Amber Lily Biong.
“Coming from one of the best high school volleyball programs in the country, we are confident that her playmaking contributions will play a key role in the success of our team,” Lady Red Spikers assistant coach Ray Rosales said.
“San Beda would like to thank (Bacolod Tay Tung team manager) Jose Montalbo for the trust and confidence in the San Beda Volleyball Program. We acknowledge his vision for developing young, talented players to succeed in the sport,” he added.
