Ang tagal pa ng season. Tatapusin ko muna &#x27;to.&quot;Nevertheless, de Leon understands why Maraguinot is likely to skip Season 81.&quot;I mean, ang tagal na niya,&quot; said de Leon, who pointed out that her good friend has been in college for six years. &quot;At some point, talagang mapapagod ka.&quot;&quot;I understand where she&#x27;s coming from. Four years in the team… I think every athlete would know the fatigue and the sacrifices you make talaga. I understand,&quot; she added.Both Maraguinot and de Leon made their debuts in Season 77, and have since been part of a historic stretch for the Ateneo women&#x27;s volleyball team.The Lady Eagles swept the UAAP Season 77 tournament, then made the finals in Season 78 and 79. This year, however, they are struggling, opening their campaign with back-to-back losses.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
