From being the young guns the past years, a number of coach Obet Javier's players now rise as the veterans for Arellano University in another redemption tour in NCAA Season 100 women's volleyball tournament.
Still leading the charge are setter Kristine Adante and opposite hitter Pau De Guzman, both of whom are the only holdovers from the Lady Chiefs lineup that last made it to the championship round in Season 97.
Arellano will also have other returning players in Harem Ceballos, Moming Padillon, Laika Tudlasan, and Heart Villaflores, who are all tasked to take on bigger responsibilities as the Lady Chiefs try to bring back the school's championship formula after going title-less in the past three seasons following a three-peat run from 2017 to 2019.
Completing the roster are Kyra Arellano, Alona Caguicla, Catherine Domasig, Maui Magaling, Fhaye Mangubat, Khey Pablo, Kacelyn Punzalan, and Samantha Tiratira.
Arellano is hoping to follow up on its Final Four appearance last Season 99, when the team racked up six wins against three losses to clinch a fourth place finish.
Meanwhile, Arellano men's side will have an intact roster with two-time best setter Adrian Villados, Carl Berdal, Penny Curamen, AC Guinto, and Jiwen Sinuto leading the charge as they shoot for another Final Four trip after barging into the semifinals in Season 99.
Daniel Agovida, Melchor Bustillo, Wainn Cateria, Joshua Datu, CJ Dominguito, Kian Pablo, Jake Pangilinan, Laurence Salvo, and Jan Sinuto complete the lineup.
