UST Tiger Spikers make statement with sweep of NU MANILA — After beating the reigning champions, University of Santo Tomas’ Mark Alfafara eyes the UAAP championship next. Shocking National University in straight sets, Alfafara led the Tiger Spikers to its sixth win and shared how motivated they are to figure in the title race again. “Siguro wala kaming ibang sikreto kundi yung motivation namin na lahat ng bagay hindi naman namin magagawa kundi dahil sa tulong ng Diyos,” he said. “Hindi kami umaasa sa sarili naming capacity o sa mga kakayanan ng bawat isa kundi umaasa lang kami sa kung anong magagawa ng Diyos sa buhay namin.” Being on a squad that has produced a lot of national team players, Alfafara expressed his appreciation to the team’s alumni for showing support. “Ang laking sampal na kulelat kami last two years kaya big challenge samin ng mga alumni na bumalik kami,” Alfafara narrated. “Sila kuya JP (Torres) at kuya Henry (Pecaña) dumadalaw pa din sila sa training. Andun sila lagi para sabihin samin na kailangan namin bumawi. Sinasabi nila na kayang-kaya naman namin at andiyan lang daw sila lagi para sumuporta.” With the big comeback that UST is showing, the graduating spiker detailed the one important factor that was missing during the team’s dark years. “Yung meron ngayon andun yung puso,” he shared. “Puso na gustong manalo, puso na ibigay lahat ng kaya namin, at puso na alam naming kayang-kaya namin manalo yun yung meron ngayon compared dati.” Alfafara, however, doesn’t want to get too ahead of themselves. “Ako actually di ko siya masyadong iniisip pero if it’s God’s will na ibalik sa amin yung korona eh thank you. Kung hindi eh magpapasalamat pa din ako dahil alam kong may purpose lahat ng nangyayari.” — Rivals 2015 rivals.ph/volleyball/uaap-volleyball/2015/01/27/21944/ust-tiger-spikers-make-statement-with-sweep-of-nu/ [panch]
