Opposing coach Oliver Almadro.Asked about his actions post-game, he answered, &quot;I always pray for the safety of all volleyball players so kung may maitutulong tayo kahit konti, why not? It will ease up, kahit kokonti, yung nangyari.&quot;He then continued, &quot;We really hope na mild lang talaga.&quot;Without one of its top guns, State U was unable to recover as the Lady Eagles only kept their foot on the gas pedal.In the end, it was a straight sets win for Ateneo against UP in the so-called Battle of Katipunan.As it turns out, though, it wasn&#x27;t easy at all for the Lady Eagles to finish what they had started. &quot;We hope, we pray that Isa&#x27;s okay talaga, but we should&#x27;ve taken advantage (of her absence),&quot; Maddie Madayag said post-game.Of course, it was understandable that they got affected by the scary injury to Molde. &quot;I think we got so fazed by what happened,&quot; Bea De Leon said.Coach Oliver was of the same mind. &quot;We were also bothered by what happened to Isa. Nasa mind and body namin bigla to play with precaution,&quot; he said.Good thing then that Ateneo got back on track sooner rather than later. &quot;Sabi ko naman sa kanila, we have a mission, we have a purpose - to give what we prepared for. Good thing they delivered,&quot; their mentor shared.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en">Isa Molde on her way to PGH to get x-rays after injuring her ankle and knee <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UAAPSeason81Volleyball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UAAPSeason81Volleyball</a> <a href="https://t.co/DRLHbxjGU8">pic.twitter.com/DRLHbxjGU8</a>— ABS-CBN News Sports (@ABSCBNNewsSport) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsSport/status/1111947782577774592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2019</a></blockquote><div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
