La Salle head coach Ramil de Jesus continues to draw lessons from the painful Season 76 Finals collapse, where the Lady Spikers lost their title despite sweeping the elimination round.
He reminded his team of that experience as motivation during their UAAP Season 88 Finals series against defending champion National University.
De Jesus said the past setback serves as a warning not to repeat the mistakes that led to their defeat against Ateneo after holding a thrice-to-beat advantage.
La Salle opened the Finals series with a strong win over NU, extending their winning streak to 15 games and moving closer to a possible championship redemption.
Players credited their preparation, two-week break, and support from former teammates for boosting their confidence heading into the title series.
