We fought &#x27;til the end,&quot; she added.Maraguinot played for Ateneo from Season 77 to Season 80, helping the Lady Eagles win the title in her first year with the team. Her breakout game came against La Salle in Season 77, when she scored 10 points against the Lady Spikers in their second round meeting to help Ateneo complete an elimination round sweep.She played in the shadow of three-time MVP Alyssa Valdez in Season 78, but was the Lady Eagles top scoring option in her last two seasons in the team. However, she was unable to lead Ateneo to the same heights that Valdez did.Still, Maraguinot says she has no regrets.&quot;Even though we fell short, alam ko naman na kilala kami ng mga tao as lumalaban hanggang dulo, hanggang kaya. &#x27;Yun din namin &#x27;yung naging development ko as a person,&quot; said Maraguinot.&quot;I admit na hindi rin naman ako ganito before maglaro, hindi ganito &#x27;yung character. Pero noong hinandle kami Coach Tai (Bundit), tinuro niya sa amin &#x27;yung Heartstrong. Tinuro niya na &#x27;di ka pwede sumuko until tapos na,&quot; she added.She is also optimistic that she is leaving the team in capable hands.&quot;Maybe it&#x27;s not meant to be (this year),&quot; she said. &quot;I know na &#x27;yung teammates ko, babawi next year.&quot;Maraguinot has yet to sign with a club team and intends to take a brief break from the sport. However, she is also willing to try out for the women&#x27;s national volleyball team after being included in the 34-woman master list by coach Ramil de Jesus.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
