UP libero Princess Gaiser bids early farewell to UAAP career after ACL injury

MANILA, Philippines－University of the Philippines libero Princess Gaiser has waved an early goodbye to a fruitful UAAP career. 

The graduating player went down after twisting her left knee in the opening set of Sunday’s game against the Lady Bulldogs. Gaiser, who was not able to return to the match, took to social media on Monday, March 6, to bid an emotional farewell to the league as she confirmed the season-ending ACL injury.

I will do everything just to play this sport til I literally couldn’t stand anymore. It hurts me to think that I have left my UAAP volleyball career without meeting my expectations as a player. My career comprises of approximately 13 injuries, multiple heartaches, unending battle scars, unexplainable feelings, picture perfect memories….13 years of ball is life and it still drives me crazy! No regrets even with this surprising end! Now its time to close this door and open a new one. #UPFight #GitingxTapang #UPAllTheWay The fight is not yet over!! My teammates will complete my dreams!! I know we can put up a fight because theres nowehere to go but UP!!!!
