#3 MILA RAΓ‘ADA

THE BOUNCE BALL QUEEN OF THE 90& #39;S.

A multi awarded MVP in UAAP. Back in the time when UAAP is a nationwide tourney, Mila lead UST in dominating Univs from Cebu, Davao & etc.

She& #39;s the youngest player in the PH team & the go to girl of the country bringing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ₯‡" title="First place medal" aria-label="Emoji: First place medal">.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#5 CHERRY ROSE MACATANGAY

One of the most hardhitting volleybelles in the history!

She is no hype! She stands 6& #39;1. She is towering. She& #39;s a deadly attacker. She& #39;s a very good floor defender. She is versatile. Anything you ask for a perfect OH, she has it.

One of the GOATS! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#6 MANILLA SANTOS

DLSU& #39;s QUEEN!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ‘ΈπŸ»" title="Princess (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Princess (light skin tone)">

The first volleyball athlete to have her jersey retired!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">

She& #39;s small but she& #39;s the highest leaper during her time and she& #39;s raw power. She also an excellent defender.

You ask everyone during her time, they know Illa was the best in 2000s.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">

#7 KANG GAROVILLAS

THE REAL QUEEN TAMARAW.

If you& #39;re a true blooded tamaraw volleyball fan, you should know that back in early 90s not even the likes of UST can stop her.

She& #39;s a beast in the court. She is so dominant that 4 out of the 29 championships of FEU is bec of her. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#9 AMY GUANGCO

Another player who& #39;s a true definition of the word DOMINANT.

Amy& #39;s technique is unique.She& #39;s not a high flyer type of a player but she has a very fast wrist action and a hammer like hand.Added factor, she is so tall and her demeanor in the court is terrifying.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#10 KATE CO YU KANG

Kate is known for her powerful attacks & geometrically great angles.

She is the first player in the PH who popularize the front line cross court kill. She& #39;s so consistent with her deadly hard angled frontline kills.

One of the OGs of UST Volleyball.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#11 SHERILYN CARILLO

Probably the best NCAA player of the 2000s.

One of the players that amazed me personally. Her ball is so fast and has alot of power. Probably the fastest ball next to Thelma & Nene.

I would compare her ball to a lightning. Fast&Powerful. ONE OF THE BEST!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#12 AILYN EGE

One of the most decorated Outside Hitters in the history of UAAP & PH Volleyball.

A 3 time UAAP MVP. And a dominating force during 2000s.

She& #39;s one of the players who doesnt respect blocks. It wont matter, she& #39;s breaking it anyways with her sheer power. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#13 JOYCE PANO

During UST& #39;s early prime, it was Joyce who lead UST& #39;s success.

She is the unsung hero if UST. It is often do you hear Joyce& #39;s name when you say UST& #39;s all time greats, but fans like us who witnessed how volleyball grew knew JOYCE is one of the best to ever play.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
#14 MICHELLE CAROLINO

M9 during her time was considered as one of the dealiest player.

The more she smiles at you, the more you know youre in trouble.

Her nasty cross court attack is her trademark and has given her numerous recognitions and championships. One of the GOAT! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
15 is a tie between this gen& #39;s best.

#15 ALYSSA VALDEZ

Alyssa started playing volleyball in the shadows of her great teammates. Later did she knew picking Ateneo and having a Thai coach would give her alot of recognitions.

We cant deny that Alyssa is the best in this gen. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐐" title="Goat" aria-label="Emoji: Goat">
