(CNN Philippines, April 14) — The future looks bright for the De La Salle University Lady Spikers after securing a promising recruit in the United States.

The 5-foot-11 outside hitter played a pivotal role for Eagle Rock High School, champion of the 2019 CIF Los Angeles City Section Open Division.

Fuentes will be eligible to play for La Salle in UAAP Season 83.

The 17-year-old is a great boost for the Lady Spikers together with the young core of Jolina dela Cruz, Thea Gagate, Justine Jazareno, and Leila Cruz.

The UAAP board has decided to cancel Season 82 last week following the government’s extension of the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine to April 30 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jade Fuentes has announced her commitment to play for the Lady Spikers on her Instagram account Tuesday.
