Lams Lamina knew she needed to step up when her name was called.
And when National University head coach Regine Diego gave her the chance to play for an entire match for the first time this UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball tournament, the 23-year-old playmaker made sure she delivered.
Lamina displayed her veteran presence and orchestrated the Lady Bulldogs’ offense en route to a 25-20, 25-21, 25-21 win over the Shai Nitura-led Adamson Lady Falcons to solidify their hold on the No. 2 spot at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion in Manila last Sunday, April 6.
“Ako naman kasi always ready kahit ano man mangyari, and of course, ‘yong mindset ko talaga is naka-stay focus,” said Lamina, who posted season-high 20 excellent sets with three points and one dig.
“And kung ano mang ibibigay sa aking role, tatanggapin ko talaga para sa team,” the two-time UAAP Best Setter added.
Lamina, who helped NU secure three UAAP seniors titles alongside former stars Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon, has seen limited minutes in recent games as Diego opted to utilize younger setter Abe Pono.
Despite the changes in terms of rotation, both Pono and Lamina had great showings for the Lady Bulldogs who seized the solo second spot with an 8-3 card, just behind league-leader De La Salle Lady Spikers (10-0).
“Very happy ako sa ginagalaw ng team, and siyempre crucial matches na ‘yong mga natitirang mga games,” said Lamina. “Focus lang po kami kung papaano magi-improve pa.”
Lamina ran the play from start to finish in their sweep over the Lady Falcons, the first one for the Guimaras native in 11 games.
According to Diego, her decision is clearly objective and it aims to sharpen the chemistry of the squad, especially the semis round nears and all teams are out to spoil its three-peat bid.
Lamina and Co. gun for their third consecutive triumph against the University of the East Lady Warriors (0-11) on Sunday, April 12, at the same venue.
