Hitter Ivy Lacsina revealed that she had friction with the setters of the Nxled Chameleons after their three-game collapse in the 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.

The Chameleons previously lost their first three assignments in the tourney, all in straight sets against Choco Mucho, PLDT and Cignal.

“Siguro po hindi naman nawala ‘yung tiwala ko sa mga setters po namin. Siguro ‘yung connection lang, kasi sobrang-sobrang dami naming pinagdaanan ni [Kamille] Cal, Maji [Maji Mangulabnan] para lang mag-connect talaga kami,” Lacsina shared after a 25-21, 25-18, 25-15 triumph against Galeries on Tuesday, March 12, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

“Actually, nag-away din po kami. Sobrang daming times na nag-away kami. Pero ayun nga, hindi kasi pwedeng sila lang mag-a-adjust sa akin. So itong buong week na ‘to, talagang sinabi ko, ‘Hindi. Dapat ako din mag-a-adjust. Ako na mag-a-adjust.’ Ayun po,” the National University product added.

Adjustments paid off as their connection became better, Lacsina said, after clinching their first win in the volleyball tilt and as they aim to notch more.

“Opo, mas better siya ngayon, pero hindi pa po siya hundred percent. So syempre, hindi naman po kami pwedeng tumigil, na ito na lang po eh, kasi madami pa po kaming makakalaban and lahat malalakas din po.”

Lacsina said the team was also reminded to have fun while on the court.

“Sa akin naman po, siguro hindi naman siya nawala, pero nagkulang lang kami sa teamwork and sa pag-e-enjoy. The past few games po natalo kami. So kanina po, parang lagi kaming nire-remind na mag-enjoy lang kami, and ayun, nakita naman po pagdating sa game.” (ABS-CBN News)
