Sam Cantada nagningning sa debut para sa NU Lady Bulldogs

Nagpakita ng kahanga-hangang pagganap si Sam Cantada sa kanyang debut sa UAAP women's volleyball para sa NU Lady Bulldogs, na humantong sa panalo laban sa UST Golden Tigresses. Nakapuntos siya ng 21, ang pinakamataas sa laro, sa kanilang panimula ng Season 88 noong Pebrero 15 sa Mall of Asia Arena.

Sa unang laro ng Season 88 ng UAAP women's volleyball, nagpakita ng potensyal si Sam Cantada bilang bagong miyembro ng NU Lady Bulldogs. Sila ay nagtagumpay laban sa UST Golden Tigresses sa iskor na 25-23, 25-19, 23-25, 26-24 noong Linggo, Pebrero 15, sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Manila.

Si Cantada, isang dating UAAP Juniors MVP, ay nag-score ng 21 points at 14 receptions, na nagbigay-daan sa panalo ng koponan sa kanilang pagtatangkang mag-three-peat. Sabi niya, “I’ve regained my confidence. I just need to push myself more and be more consistent,” sa halo ng Filipino at English.

Pagkatapos ng pag-alis nina Bella Belen at Alyssa Solomon, na nagdala ng tatlong championship sa huling apat na season, inaasahan ang mataas na pagganap kay Cantada. Sa ika-apat na set, nang nanguna ang Tigresses ng 23-19, si Cantada ang nag-lead ng 7-1 run na may tatlong aces at isang attack, na nag-score ng pitong sa huling sampung points ng Lady Bulldogs.

Puri ang ibinigay ng head coach Regine Diego: “I know a lot of people might think that what Sam did was just luck, but I’ve seen her do it so many times already, so that’s who she really is. It’s her character.” Dagdag niya, “She’s a really good fighter, especially in crucial games, so I didn’t doubt her.”

Hindi lamang si Cantada ang nag-ambag; si Vange Alinsug ay may 18 points, Aira Panique 15 points, at Shaira Jardio 20 receptions at 14 digs. Ayon kay Cantada, “Ate Bel set a really high standard. But if we’re there for each other, we’re not going to have a hard time. We don’t have to depend on just one person, because when each of us performs well, everything becomes easier.”

Ipinakita ng debut na ang NU Lady Bulldogs ay handa pa ring maging kompetidor sa title race.
