The title was the Bulldogs&#x27; eighth in their remarkable 11th straight Finals appearance.Meanwhile, redemption finally arrived for Arnold Laniog and the College of Saint Benilde Blazing Spikers.A longtime fixture in the Benilde program as both player and coach, Laniog steered the Blazing Spikers to the NCAA Season 101 championship, ending a nine-year title drought.For his efforts, Laniog will be recognized as the NCAA Men&#x27;s Volleyball Coach of the Year, a fitting reward for helping restore Benilde to the top of collegiate men&#x27;s volleyball.
