Casiey Dongallo saw her first playing year for the University of the Philippines cut short as she was forced to miss the remainder of UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball due to a knee injury, the school announced Saturday, March 14.
Further examination revealed that the 20-year-old Dongallo suffered an ACL and meniscus tears both in her left knee.‎
The Cebuana had an awkward landing after scoring a point in the opening set against FEU last weekend. She was stretchered out of the match and her team eventually bowed in three sets.
‎It was a big blow for UP as Dongallo had her breakthrough game for the Maroons after posting a 20-point output in their pulsating five-set win over reigning champion National University.
‎Dongallo then missed their following game against host University of Santo Tomas, but she came out to support her teammates on the sidelines while using crutches to walk. Unfortunately, UP lost anew in four sets to slip to a 3-3 record.
‎Italian head coach Fabio Menta admired Dongallo's optimism and hoped that their key player could return in action later this year or early 2027.
‎"She's in a great mood. I'm surprised she never felt the desperation. She came to the (next) game, she comes to our training, still smiling," said Menta.
‎"Now, we want to be optimistic. By late December or January next year, she'll be training again. Hopefully," he added.
‎With the absence of Dongallo, who only played for four matches, Niña Ytang, Irah Jaboneta, Jelai Gajero, Joan Monares, and Kian Olanggo must step up offensively to bolster their hopes of returning to the Final Four.‎
‎They seek to end their string of setbacks against the Shai Nitura-led Asamson Lady Falcons this Sunday, March 15, at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
‎"Casiey's a big loss, but the girls understand they need to do more now to compensate," Menta continued. "The girls are ok. They're working and hopefully, we find the right adjustments. We are preparing hard to do our best."
