THEA Gagate, Julia Coronel, Maicah Larroza and Leila Cruz will do well in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).

This is what Angel Canino said about her four La Salle teammates who are joining the PVL Rookie Draft set on July 8 at Novotel.

"I know they have the skills and I know they have the values as Lady Spikers," Canino said of her teammates.

"I know very well they're superior in terms of characteristics so I know they can do well in the PVL and I know they're going to push themselves to contribute to the team that will draft them."

Gagate, Coronel, Larroza, and Cruz won a championship with Canino in UAAP Season 85.

Gagate, a two-time UAAP Best Middle Blocker, is the projected top overall pick of Zus Coffee which is to pick first in the draft.

Zus Coffee coach Jerry Yee said on the first day of the two-day draft combine on June 25 that his team will make the 6-foot-2 middle blocker the first overall pick on July 8.

Opposite spiker Cruz is projected to be picked in the top 3 while setter Coronel and outside hitter Larroza are also expected to be picked in the first or early second round.

Forty-seven players are qualified to join the draft.
