    Sep 7, 2018

    GRETHCEL Soltones, Jema Galanza, Risa Sato, Aiza Maizo-Pontillas, Jasmine Nabor and Melissa Gohing have been called up to the Philippine women's volleyball team bound for the 26th Asian Cup on September 17-23 in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

    Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. officials were prompted to make the changes after six players from the Asian Games team - Kim Fajardo, Jaja Santiago, Dindin Santiago-Manabat, Kim Dy, Majoy Baron and Dawn Macandili - became unavailable for the tournament.

    Fajardo is nursing a knee injury and will be out for four weeks while the Santiago sisters will see action in the V League Premier in Japan. Dy, Baron and Macandili will fly to New York as part of La Salle's incentive for winning the UAAP Season 80 title.
