The two-time defending champions had to claw out of a 0-1 hole in the best-of-3 finals series against University of Perpetual Help, then hack out a thrilling five-set win last week.They even fell behind in the winner-takes-all Game 3, squandering a 7-point lead in Set 1, before finding their rhythm and securing a 22-25, 25-15, 25-18, 25-18 triumph.&quot;&#x27;Yung Perpetual, talagang ano eh, mataas &#x27;yung respeto sa kanila. Talagang sinukat talaga nila kami. Pinilit nilang ilabas &#x27;yung dapat namin mailabas eh, so nagpapasalamat kami roon,&quot; Javier said after their title win.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2019/02/12/ncaa-season-94-lady-chiefs-complete-three-peat-53311">READ: Lady Chiefs complete three-peat</a></li></ul>Making the achievement all the more worthwhile was that they made history for Arellano, added the coach.&quot;Kumbaga, lahat ito para sa school talaga eh, sunod na lang ang aming mga sarili. Pero itong panalo na ito, itong trophy na &#x27;to, itong three-peat na &#x27;to, para talaga sa school,&quot; he said. &quot;Talagang ibinibigay nila sa amin lahat-lahat na dapat na para sa amin.&quot;He said that Arellano&#x27;s volleyball dynasty -- they have now won four of the last five women&#x27;s volleyball titles -- is a credit to how their management supported him and his program.&quot;Hangga&#x27;t andoon sila sa likuran namin, talagang pipilitin namin na laging suklian ang mga binibigay nila sa amin,&quot; said Javier. &quot;Sinasabi niyo nga, dynasty. Pipilitin namin na panghawakan, kasi minsan lang dumating sa isang team &#x27;yan eh,&quot; he added. &quot;So hangga&#x27;t maari, dapat hindi namin mapakawalan. So, patuloy pa rin.&quot;On a more personal note, Javier also dedicated his triumph to his late mentor, the multi-titled volleyball coach Nes Pamilar. &quot;Kung mapapansin natin, one month ni Coach Nes ngayon eh,&quot; he said. &quot;Itong game na &#x27;to, inaalay ko talaga sa kanya.&quot;Pamilar passed away last January 12 due to heart failure. He had worked with Javier with the Power Smashers in the Premier Volleyball League. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/01/12/19/champion-coach-pamilar-passes-away">READ: Nes Pamilar, multi-titled women’s volleyball coach, passes away</a></li></ul>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
