SETTER Marionne Angelique “Mars” Alba, daring and creative, has officially joined the Akari Charges, signaling the team’s clear intent to go deep in the coming PVL conference.
Team management warmly welcomed the former La Salle ace into their family, convinced the 5-foot-7 ace could be the missing link in the team’s bid to win its first title in the premier league after near misses in the past.
Alba was signed to a multi-year contract.
The UAAP Season 85 Finals MVP started her pro career with Choco Mucho and played a key role in the team’s runner-up finish to powerhouse Creamline in last year’s All-Filipino Conference.
Toughened by her three conferences with Choco, Alba is considered a big catch owing to her growing number of followers in the volleyball community.
And the Chargers are likewise banking on Alba’s tested leadership and competitiveness as they try to surpass their runner-up finish in the PVL Reinforced Conference that saw them topple fancied PLDT in the semis.
