Dahil maganda ang support ng admin, naibabalik namin sa kanila &#x27;yung dapat ibalik namin para sa school.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2018/02/19/back-to-back-arellano-u-sweeps-san-beda-finals-series-37903">READ: Arellano sweeps San Beda in finals series</a></li></ul>While Regine Arocha sealed Finals MVP honors for her 15-point, 12-dig effort in Game 2, Arellano&#x27;s veterans also had their shining moments in the game.Jovielyn Prado, last season&#x27;s Finals MVP, matched Arocha with 15 points of her own on top of 11 excellent receptions. Middle blocker Andrea Marzan was a force at the net, with five of her eight points coming from kills blocks. Skipper Anne Esguerra had seven points, including the match-winner.All three players – Prado, Marzan and Esguerra – played their final games for Arellano on Monday. Already, Javier is concerned with how he will replace them.&quot;Nakatutok ako sa mga mawawalang puwesto, especially doon sa middle,&quot; he said, referring to Esguerra and Marzan. &quot;Meron namang naka-abang,&quot; Javier revealed. &quot;Pero siyempre, kailangan &#x27;yung ipapalit ko doon, hindi pwedeng ka-level lang ng mawawala.&quot;&quot;Dapat mas higit, kung gusto pa naming mag-three-peat.&quot;With a third straight title in mind, Javier is giving his players just a week to celebrate their achievement in the NCAA. He expects to return to work in the first week of March, as they begin to prepare for the club season.&quot;Ibang level naman &#x27;yun,&quot; he said. &quot;Kailangan namin pagpursigihan ang practice doon.&quot;For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
