Lacsina sisters commit to Adamson
Sisters Ize, Ishaa, and Iya Lacsina have committed to the Adamson University girls' volleyball program. They are the sisters of Akari Chargers player Ivy Lacsina in the PVL. Ize Lacsina, 17 years old, is a 5-foot-8 middle blocker, while the 14-year-old outside hitter Iya stands at 5-foot-9. The youngest, 11-year-old Ishaa, is a 5-foot-4. The three sisters will be under the guidance of head coach and former Soaring Falcon JP Yude. Akari Sports, the main sponsor of the Adamson volleyball program, first announced the development last July 14 and was eventually confirmed by the University in an update last August 5. Back in UAAP Season 87, Adamson finished as runners up to National University in the girls' volleyball tournament. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
