But she is still unsure as to when she can play for the Lady Eagles.Maraguinot was expected to be the Lady Eagles&#x27; No. 1 option on offense upon the graduation of Alyssa Valdez, but instead she has been forced to watch their games on the sidelines or in the reserve box, with a walking boot on her left leg.She was in uniform for Ateneo&#x27;s 25-14, 28-26, 25-22 victory over Far Eastern University on Monday at the Philsports Arena but head coach Tai Bundit never subbed her into the game.&quot;Na-clear ako noong Friday, so I started training after noon, pero minimal moves lang kasi sobrang alalay pa,&quot; said Maraguinot. &quot;Sa ngayon, hindi ako nagj-jumps, hindi ako tumatakbo.&quot;&quot;Parang hindi pwedeng magkaroon ng weight sa leg para ma-maintain &#x27;yung pagka-sarado (ng stress fracture),&quot; she explained.(I was cleared last Friday and I started training after that, but I only do minimal moves. Right now I can&#x27;t jump or run. I can&#x27;t put any weight on the leg so that the fracture will stay closed.)Asked if she had a timeline for when she can return to full-contact practice, Maraguinot said: &quot;Hindi ko pa talaga alam.&quot; (I still don&#x27;t know).Yet even without Maraguinot, the Lady Eagles have managed to defy the odds and are now just one win away from returning to the finals of the Collegiate Conference.

Nagpapa-sub na ako, pero &#x27;di niya ako pinapansin. Ayun, nakakainis. Sobrang gusto kong maglaro, pero talagang &#x27;di pwede,&quot; she said. &quot;Iniintidi ko na lang, for UAAP din.&quot;(Coach Tai was ignoring me. I wanted to be subbed in (the second set), but he was ignoring me. It&#x27;s frustrating. I really want to play, but I&#x27;m not allowed to yet.)Maraguinot is unlikely to see action on Wednesday, when Ateneo takes on FEU anew for Game 2 of their best-of-three semifinals series.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
