Manila — Earlier today, the first ever draft of the Philippine Superliga was held at the newly-established NBA Cafe at the SM Aura mall in Taguig City.

Besides the incoming rookies of the league, players whose names weren’t included in the “protected players” list submitted by the league’s teams a few weeks ago were available to be drafted. Prior to the drafting, a lottery took place to determine the order of the draft process.

Former National University standout Dindin Santiago was selected as the top overall pick of the draft by the Petron Blaze Spikers. Coming in second was former DLSU team captain and two-time UAAP MVP Aby Marano, who will team up with former comrades Melissa Gohing, Stephanie Mercado, and Michelle Gumabao in Air Asia — the PSL’s newest team.

With the third overall pick, RC Cola, which finished last in the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix, selected DLSU alum Iari Yongco. Not long after, the Cagayan Valley Lady Rising Suns took Janine Marciano out of San Beda College with the fourth selection.

Rounding up the first round were Ateneo’s Jamenea Ferrer, who will reunite with former head coach Roger Gorayeb in PLDT, as the fifth pick; Norie Diaz out of UPHSD, who will play for Cignal after being taken with the sixth pick; and Christine Agno, who will help Generika-Army (formerly known as TMS-Army) try to win a third straight PSL championship, after being taken with the seventh selection.

A fighter

Enormous digs on the rough sand and her immense saves off the court may leave the audience astonished on their seats while watching her wild plays. FEU’s Christine Agno is one of the new key additions for Coach Joseph Santos’ team.

She is the current libero of FEU Women’s Volleyball team and now changing her style from the solid court to the rough sands.

Adjusting is her top priority now as she is having a hard time regarding her performance on the sand court. The 18-year-old native of Legaspi City drastically gave emphasis on her struggles and how she adjusted.

“Nu’ng una talaga mahirap kasi iba yung galaw namin, pero tinulungan talaga ako ng Men’s [team] at ni Coach [Santos] mag-adjust t’saka sarili ko na din (At first it was hard because our moves was different, but the men’s team and Coach Santos really helped me a lot, and also myself),” said Agno.

Her struggles and discontentment served as her motivation to strived to be a better player.

Being a student-athlete, Agno confessed that she do not go out too much because of school works and all the trainings for the upcoming season.

“Sa gabi ko talaga ginagawa lahat. Kunyari, mga gagawa ng assignment, mag-aaral tapos maglalaba. (I am doing everything at night like my assignment, studying and my laundry),” she added.

Though playing for FEU would mean being far from home, no tears and pain would actually stop her from pursuing her passion and love for volleyball.

These two volleyball lovers won’t simply stop at nothing just to carry the green-and-gold flag all the way to the top. Two words will be the keys to grab the championship--hunger and focus.
