More injuries but we were able to cope,&quot; he said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.NU was awarded 711 points, en route to the title, which seemed to have silence doubters.NU&#x27;s title last year was marred with controversy after University of the Philippines protested the results.Suan said the issue pushed them to work and train harder.&quot;Because of what happened last year, a lot of people were bashing us,&quot; he said. &quot;So what we did was to really prepare for this year beginning this summer.&quot;Suan added that the team chose not to be disheartened by the detractors. &quot;Instead of giving in to the negativity, we looked at the positive,&quot; he said. &quot;It became a source of encouragement for us.&quot;&quot;This win is NU&#x27;s fifth overall title and Suan&#x27;s squad doesn&#x27;t plan on relinquishing its throne.&quot;&quot;Our goal is to defend and defend our title,&quot; he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
