Arvin Lim, ABS-CBN Sports</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines—University of the East may have lost in straight sets to defending champion La Salle on Wednesday, but graduating libero Kath Arado has reason to be satisfied with their performance.In what was Arado&#x27;s final game against the powerhouse team, the Lady Spikers handed the Lady Warriors a 25-17, 25-16, 25-19 loss. Arado put up 15 digs and 12 receptions in the game, which took just an hour and 22 minutes.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/04/24/19/uaap-la-salle-makes-quick-work-of-ue-nears-semis-bonus">FULL STORY: La Salle makes quick work of UE, nears semis bonus</a></li></ul>The result dropped the Lady Warriors to 3-10 in the UAAP Season 81 women&#x27;s volleyball tournament.&quot;Alam naman namin na &#x27;di papaya &#x27;yung La Salle,&quot; said Arado after the game. &quot;Siguro, nag-kulang lang talaga kami.&quot;Yet Arado was also quick to add that she didn&#x27;t feel too down after their defeat. In fact, she felt the exact opposite.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2019/04/24/uaap-season-81-dlsu-ready-face-ust-final-four-56103">READ: DLSU ready to face UST in the Final Four</a></li></ul>&quot;Hindi mo maalis &#x27;yung feeling na medyo masaya,&quot; she admitted.Arado pointed out that in past years, they struggled to even just compete against the Lady Spikers. &quot;Ang pinakamalala nga sa amin, &#x27;yung na-single digit nila kami,&quot; she said.On Wednesday, however, the Lady Warriors stood toe to toe with the Lady Spikers in the early goings of the game. They even led in the first set, before La Salle&#x27;s surged ahead with their superior firepower.Still, that they managed to keep in step with the Lady Spikers — and break into double digits — gave Arado reason to hope. However, it is crucial that they build on that effort, as well as on their work this season as a whole.&quot; &#x27;Yun na lang siguro kailangan nila overcome sa next season. Hindi porke nasa top two, top four &#x27;yung kalaban, &#x27;di ka na lalaban,&quot; said Arado.&quot;Sabi nga nila coach na doon kami nagkukulang sa culture namin. Kailangan maranasan namin &#x27;yung winning culture. Hindi pa namin naranasan na sunod-sunod &#x27;yung panalo.&quot;In her first four years in the UAAP, Arado and the Lady Warriors have had a woeful 4-52 win-loss record. She and her batchmates put together a winning streak just once — when they won back-to-back games in Season 80, beating Adamson and University of Santo Tomas midway through the tournament.Already, Season 81 is their most successful season in 7 years. The Lady Warriors went 4-10 in Season 74, before enduring a brutal stretch in the next six years.Arado is confident that her team can keep moving forward and improve even further in the coming seasons — which is the exact legacy that she and her batch mates have always wanted to leave in UE.In the meantime, the decorated libero is hoping to end her collegiate career on a bright note. The Lady Warriors conclude their elimination round schedule on Sunday against Ateneo, with the Lady Eagles looking to seal the No. 1 seed in the Final 4.&quot;May feeling na nalulungkot kasi matatapos na UAAP career ko. At the same time, kampante ako. Aalis kami sa team na alam kong may mararating &#x27;yung team nami next season,&quot; said Arado. &quot;Wala naman kaming pagkukulang as a senior.&quot;&quot;Bibigay ko lahat na pwede kong i-contribute. Kilala ko &#x27;yung teammates ko, &#x27;di rin papayag &#x27;yan na matatapos &#x27;yung season namin na panget,&quot; she said of her last game.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
