Mycah Go capped off her collegiate career on a high note as De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde won its fourth straight title on Wednesday.
In Benilde's four-peat run in NCAA women's volleyball, Go played with the Lady Blazers for three seasons, while she was part of the coaching staff in Season 98 as she was recovering from her injury then.
"Siyempre, sobrang happy," Go said.
"Lahat ng efforts namin sa team, lalo na binreak namin 'yung pinaghirapan ng batchmates ko, nalungkot din naman kami pero sabi nga namin different story na 'to," she said while referring to the loss against Colegio de San Juan de Letran early in the season which snapped Benilde's 43-game winning streak.
On top of being a three-time champion, Go was named as the league's Most Valuable Player for the second time around, and was also awarded the Finals MVP honors.
Despite her achievements, Go's collegiate journey was not a smooth sailing one, particularly when she sustained an ACL injury in Season 98.
"Nahirapan ako sa pinagdaanan ko, hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin nung na-injure ako," she said.
"Masaya lang ako naging patient na kasi sa sarili ko. Hindi ko tinigilan talaga. And di ko naman in-expect na ganito 'yung magiging outcome."
Even she admitted that her second MVP award was an unexpected one.
"Gusto ko lang talaga umuwi nang champion. Gusto ko lang umalis ng CSB nang champion. 'Yun lang talaga hinihingi ko sa mga teammates ko."
Now, she is set to join ZUS Coffee, also handled by Benilde's Jerry Yee, in the professional league.
"Ibang journey na rin 'yun," she said.
"Siyempre, tuluy-tuloy lang 'yung learnings. Kung ano 'yung dapat sabihin ng coach, tuloy-tuloy lang din sa pag-take n'un, kung paano i-apply sa pros. Siyempre, ibang level na yun. So, makikinig lang."
