Shakey’s V-League 2012

By Alexandria A. Bernabe

Coach Arthur "Ogie" Mamon said on Friday that the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigresses is hungry to steal the crown from the team of Coach Fritz Gaston of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) Lady Eagles, during the 9th Season of the Shakey's V-League which opens on April 24 at the Arena in San Juan City. 

At Friday's SCOOP sa Kamayan in Padre Faura, Manila, Coach Ogie said the goal of UST is to grab the throne from AdMU even though they had just returned from a two-year break due to some injuries and for the Tigresses to cope up with their studies.

But Coach Fritz is unperturbed and does not take seriously what Coach Ogie is saying.

"Lahat iyan gustong mag champion. Pagdating sa laro doon lang malalaman kung sino yung malakas," Gaston said.

As defending champion, AdMU only started formal preparations Thursday because their guest player from Thailand has just arrived. Gaston said their Thai player and the rest of the team are already practicing some good plays.

On the other hand, Coach Ogie said the Tigresses has been impressive in their practice, confident their team will really be a strong contender for the Shakey's V-League title.
